And we all love this wonderful octopus in ‘Aquatilibus [On things that live in the water]’ by Pierre Belon, 1553.
The text notes the octopus can change colours: ‘now white, then red, then livid, then distinguished by various shades.’

Last day of Museums Week and the theme is #OceansMW
Our History Haven crew made fantastic ocean themed dioramas yesterday, while learning how difficult a situation our oceanic environment is facing due to pollutants.

So, a slightly tenuous link to today’s #MuseumWeek theme, #OceansMW, but here’s a lifebelt from HMS Cornwallis. The ship transported the 2nd Bn, SWB, from China to Gallipoli in 1915. The ship was sunk off Malta in January 1917 after being torpedoed by a German submarine. Fifteen lives were lost.

This #WorldOceansDay we are sharing some fantastic sea creatures that swim through our heritage library books.
Such as the Common Trout, Northern Char & Flying Fish in ‘The natural history of British fishes’, with illustrations drawn by James Hope Stewart, 1843.

During the D-Day channel crossing, allied soldiers used an aboriginal Australian sea sickness remedy made from corkwood trees.
It turned out to be a good source of scopolamine, a common ingredient in seasickness remedies like this to this day.

Ever wonder how plant specimens were transported around the world during the seafaring age? Or what a bottle can tell us about economics in the 19th century? Find out in 'Objects at Sea'!

Today is the final day of #MuseumWeek. Together for the Oceans – #OceansMW on World Oceans Day.
Here in Nova Scotia, the sea is a way of life. From the salty breeze to the crashing waves, the sights & sounds of the ocean are ever-present, reminding us of the beauty and power of nature. #NovaScotia

William De Morgan designed many tile panels ranging from just a few pieces to those covering large expanses of wall. De Morgan was commissioned to produce tile panels for P&O to decorate their ocean liners #WorldOceansDay
