For over 60 years, the Vancouver Maritime Museum has been sharing stories about the Pacific Northwest and the Arctic, creating experiences that build bridges between the past and future.
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.
