Immerse yourself in history and discover the rich maritime history and traditions of the Pacific Coast. Located in Vanier Park, minutes from downtown at south end of Burrard Street Bridge and short stroll to Granville Island.

So much to sea and explore! Step back in time onboard St Roch, Canada's celebrated RCMP Arctic schooner housed ashore. 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. The Maritime Museum has lots to see and do for landlubbers and old salts. Explore the many exhibits the Museum has to offer - pirates, shipwrecks, lighthouses, the early fur trade, fireboats, warships named Vancouver, deep-ocean exploration, shipbuilding, coastal and transpacific steamship lines, cruise ships and so much more. The young at heart will experience the fun of the Children's Maritime Discovery Centre. Historic and classic vessels are moored in Heritage Harbour.

The Museum's feature exhibit, Meltdown! Oceans React to Global Warming provides a new "oceans" perspective that offers a fresh look at climate change. Visitors will better understand the fundamentals of global warming, explore its impact on the oceans, the Arctic and land environments and will find meaningful solutions to encourage change.
