Overview
A constant part of the city’s waterfront since 1959, the Vancouver Maritime Museum remains dedicated to showcasing the long seafaring past of British Columbia and the Canadian Arctic. Within the museum, visitors can scrutinize models of historically significant vessels and browse displays of well-preserved artifacts. Perhaps the most popular exhibit is the St. Roch, a craft designed for exploration of the Arctic. The museum also houses maritime art installations, a library, and historical archives. Captain Cook even makes an appearance in the establishment’s hand-drawn charts of his expeditions across the Pacific Ocean.
