Visitors can purchase souvenirs at reasonable prices. The Association doesn't look to the selling of souvenirs as a large source of income but rather a service to its guest so they can have mementos of their visit. |
We encourage our guests to sign our guest book as a lasting record of their visit. |

Many varied items are found in the museum from a lens from an actual lighthouse, to a fishing boat replica, to a horse skull from a Sable Island wild horse. |
The Museum has many scientific instruments, used in the past, for gathering samples under water. Both water samples and samples of the seabed can be gathered with these instruments. |

Above are two (2) pictures of our fossilized walrus skull (pictured upside down) in the picture on the right you can see its teeth and where the tusk would go. The skull is sold fossilized rock but the tusks are very fragile. |

Our kid’s corner allows youngsters to draw pictures of their favourite things from their visit. We will proudly display pictures drawn by our young guests.
Our Environmental display sheds light on the impact of garbage on our waterways. |
Robert
In 1989, Pat Matthews decided to make a “Stitch-Stuff” Fisherman for a group reunion. Her memories brought forth an image of a man who tended weir at Green’s Point with her uncle Ray. His name was Robert.
Pat was told many stories by her aunt about Robert. When Robert would come to visit her home on his way to the weir he would ask if he could “Rock the Wee One”. Robert was an ordinary fisherman but as such wasn’t ordinary. He captures the essence of a bygone era and the men who worked long hours at their trade.
“I’m here and my name is Robert. I moved from Pat’s home in 2010 to the Museum as the Night Watchman.” Robert is a friendly night watchman to all except those up to mischief.
