SS Atlantic Society / Join Us
   
In 1998 citizens of Terence Bay and Lower Prospect established the SS Atlantic Heritage Park Society, a non-profit organization run by a board of local residents. The Society's  intentions were to preserve the resting place of 277 victims of the sinking of the SS Atlantic in 1873. However, over the years, the Society's successes far surpassed their initial intentions.  Near the mass burial site in Terence Bay, there is now a boardwalk that wraps around the coastline, and a gazebo. The area around the old memorial to the victims has been landscaped and interpretive panels have been installed.  An Interpretation Centre was completed in 2002 containing a small museum of artifacts from the SS Atlantic, interpretive panels and a craft shop.

Maitenance and operation of the Interpretation Centre, Gazebo, Boardwalk along with the connecting trails are sources of ever increasing costs of operation.

Recent exceptional  and unexpected expenses include the replacemen of the pump and floats in the septic tank. Wind-storm damaged to the Centre further impact operational costs.  Current plans include improving the environment within the Centre with the installation of  a heatpump 

Further, with 2023 the 150 year anniversary of the Atlantic Story on the horizon, plans are being formulated to refresh and enhance the coverage of the Story.
