Peggy's Cove is very scenic but it will be crowded with tourists. Given your interests, I would definitely spend my time in Halifax. Been there three times now but If you are really torn, once we took the ship tour to Peggy's Cove and the Titanic Graveyard. I think it was 4 1/2 hours total, so you could do that in the morning, then (assuming your ship has a later departure) see the Halifax attractions. Titanic Museum and waterfront area, the Citadel/fort and the Botanical Gardens are my personal favorites. Try to time your visit to the citadel when they fire the cannon. Very cool.
The cannon is shot at noon every day, they do a reenactment. The water front also has the immigration museum, people can look up ancestors imjigration. Lunenburg is worth the drive. If you have a few people, hire a driver have them take you to Peggy’s Cove fist thing in the morning to beat the crowds, then continue on to Mahone Bay and Lunenburg. The drive is beautiful.
