CSS Acadia, Canadian survey ship built in 1913, located in Halifax harbor behind the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.
This ironclad ship is a 3/8 replica of the original CSS Albemarle, which participated in the Battle of Plymouth in 1864.
Acadia was designed in Canada for the Hydrographic Survey of Canada and built by Swan Hunter & Wigham Richardson at Newcastle-on-Tyne in England. She was launched in May 1913 and made her first voyage in July 1913.
