I've got three more pubs for you today, and all well worth stopping into if you happen to be in Lunenburg, NS.
First, my own favourite, the Knot Pub:
Then, dominating the view of the harbour, The Grand Banker:
And finally, tucked away inside The Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic, The Ice House(side note, why don't all museums have pubs?):
Admittedly, the Ice House is only tangentially naval, but I figure that being right on the waterfront gets it the rest of the way.

I think I've been to that one, back in the days when I was a regular visitor to Barrow
