The Maritime Museum tells the stories of Canada's ties to the Pacific with an emphasis on Canada's gateway port communities in the Greater Vancouver region. As a centre for life-long learning, the Museum interprets our ongoing interaction with the sea through exhibitions and programs for people of all ages. Discover the rich maritime history and traditions of the Pacific Coast. The Maritime Museum has lots to see and do for landlubbers and old salts. Explore the many exhibits - pirates, shipwrecks, lighthouses, early fur trade, fireboats, warships named Vancouver, deep-ocean exploration, coastal and transpacific steamship lines, and so much more.

Step back in time onboard St Roch, Canada's celebrated RCMP Arctic schooner. Wander the ship's narrow corridors, where it is still 1944 and you are one of the crew on her second and most famous voyage through the treacherous Northwest Passage. St Roch was the first ship to traverse the Northwest Passage in both directions.

Created to teach and designed for fun, visitors to the Alcan Children's Maritime Discovery Centre experience a fun hands-on area dedicated to children and the young at heart. Heritage Harbour features working and historic vessels.

The Maritime Store specializes in maritime books, models and RCMP souvenirs. Programming includes events, lectures, and activities for children. Children's birthday parties and facility rentals are also available.
