On Deck
One of Tall Ship Silva's finest features is her wide open deck
that accommodates all of her 150 guests in one area with a 360
degree view of Halifax Harbour. Traditional varnished
wood seating is placed around the entire deck so guests can
sit back, relax and enjoy the sights.
Banquet Room
The inside dining room is ideal for buffet or sit-down
dinners. The room is decorated simply yet elegantly with
colourful Nova Scotia folk art, classic white linens,
cushioned bistro chairs and nautical centre pieces.
Designed to suit all events, it has an interchangeable layout,
featuring 2 large skylights that allow you to view the sails &
stars in the moonlight.
On-Deck Enclosed Pub
A highlight and guest favourite is the "Wheelhouse Pub",
with a wide selection of beer, wine, and cocktails and
boasting a fine selection of single malt scotches. There
is plenty of seating with bar stools, cocktail tables and a
comfy cushioned settee surrounding the room.
History
Tall Ship Silva was built in Karlstad, Sweden as a 130' three
masted steel schooner. During the first two decades of
her life, she was used in the Scandinavian fishing industry,
with regular trips to Iceland. In the 1960's Silva was
refitted as a bulk freighter, having her sailing rig removed.
Silva continued coastal trading until 1994 and remained in
Sweden until the summer of 2001 when Canadian Sailing
Expeditions bought her and delivered her for the first time,
to North America.
She is now completely re-furbished and offers a unique and
relaxing atmosphere and is simply the finest charter board
Halifax has to offer. |
