Everything about The Vancouver Maritime Museum totally explained
The
Vancouver Maritime Museum is a nautical
museum in
Vancouver,
Canada. It is located just west of
False Creek on the Vancouver waterfront. The main exhibit is the
St. Roch, an historic
arctic exploration vessel. The museum also has extensive galleries of
model ships, including one with historic model ships built entirely from cardboard or paper, There is a workshop where visitors can watch craftsmen build models.
The museum was built around the St. Roch. She is enclosed in an
A-frame, which, unfortunately, hasn't proven to be the ideal structure for her preservation or display. The St. Roch needs some conservation work. Also, her protective structure needs to be replaced with a larger structure with better climate control.
Captain George Vancouver Special Exhibit
In 2007, the museum featured a special exhibit of a series of paintings documenting
Captain George Vancouver's famous voyages to the Pacific Northwest. The exhibit was in honor of the 250th anniversary of Vancouver's birth.
Plans to Move the Museum
The Museum is, as of 2006, planning to move to a more ideal location, possibly in
North Vancouver, which is considering the creation of a National Maritime Centre for Pacific and the Arctic on the city's waterfront.
