Vancouver Maritime Museum
Get to know the history of the waters that surround us
Vancouver (beyond downtown)
For over 60 years, the Vancouver Maritime Museum has been sharing stories about the Pacific Northwest and the Arctic and creating experiences that build bridges between the past and future. We invite a diverse range of voices to share their perspectives, providing a place of connection and community and building a shared sense of belonging.
From a unique waterfront location in Vancouver, we welcome visitors to explore exhibitions and take part in programs about life on and around the Pacific Northwest and Arctic oceans.
Our most popular exhibition is the RCMP Vessel St. Roch, a National Historic Site housed in an iconic mid-century modern A-frame shelter. In all that we do, we inspire everyone to appreciate the profound relationship between humans and the sea.
With great respect for the original and enduring inhabitants of these lands, we acknowledge that we work, live, and encourage our visitors to explore the history and culture of the Ancestral & Unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Peoples.
