A visit to the Maritime Museum of BC is a chance for the whole family to experience British Columbia’s marine heritage.

The Maritime Museum of BC tells the story of the province’s rich maritime heritage and culture. Our collection highlights BC’s dynamic history seen through the lens of humankind’s relationship with the sea, from the Indigenous Peoples of this province, to journeys of exploration and adventure, to the CPR steamships that plied these waters, and everything in between.

The museum presents evening talks and craft workshops that look at maritime history in unique and creative ways. Also offered are educational programs on topics such as immigration, pirates and privateers, women at sea, and the fur trade.

After your adventures here, embark on your own voyage and add to the story!
