Maritime Museum of BC, Maritime heritage museum in downtown Victoria, Canada
The Maritime Museum of BC displays over 35,000 artifacts documenting the maritime history of British Columbia through rotating exhibits and historical collections.
Founded by naval officers in 1955 at Signal Hill in Esquimalt, the museum relocated to Bastion Square in 1963 before moving to its current location on Douglas Street.
The museum collaborates with First Nations communities to present maritime narratives that connect Indigenous perspectives with Pacific Northwest maritime traditions.
Researchers can access 6,000 volumes in the reference library, historical records, logbooks, naval documents, ships' plans, maps, and a collection of 36,000 photographs.
The museum houses three notable vessels, including Tilikum, a modified cedar canoe that completed a journey from Vancouver Island to London in 1901.
