Vancouver Maritime Museum
The Vancouver Maritime Museum is a fun, family-friendly place to explore and learn about the sea and the ships that sail it.
Climb aboard the historic St. Roch, the first ship to make the west-east traverse of the Northwest Passage. Wander the decks and immerse yourself in the experience of the crew who worked aboard the boat in the 1940s.
Kids can imagine, create and play in Underwater World, and the whole family can explore galleries and exhibits that chronicle the rich maritime history of the Pacific Northwest and the Arctic.
Enjoy rotating art exhibits that celebrate our relationship with the sea and take in exhibits on shipwrecks, lighthouses, early fur trade, fireboats, warships, deep-ocean exploration, ship models, the Arctic and more.

We Were So Far Away: The Inuit Experience of Residential Schools
by The Legacy of Hope Foundation and Library and Archives Canada
On view to November 27, 2022
The Vancouver Maritime Museum is pleased to host this travelling exhibition that explores the residential school experiences of Inuit peoples.
The Inuit experience was unique and in part because of rapid social and political change in the North at the start of the 20th century. We Were So Far Away uses first-person narratives and archival images to tell stories of the Inuit residential school experience. The exhibition highlights the stories of eight Inuit residential school survivors. Each survivor talks about their experience in their own words.
