Sukanen Ship Pioneer Village and Museum, Heritage museum and pioneer village south of Moose Jaw, Canada.

The Sukanen Ship Pioneer Village spans 40 acres with more than 40 buildings representing early Canadian prairie settlements from 1890 to 1930.

Finnish immigrant Tom Sukanen constructed an ocean vessel in Saskatchewan during the 1930s, which was later transported to this museum site in 1974.

The museum complex includes original structures such as a 1913 grain elevator, John Diefenbaker's homestead, and exhibits of prairie farming equipment.

The museum operates daily between May 10 and September 11, offering guided tours through historical buildings, machinery displays, and agricultural exhibits.

A complete ocean-going ship stands permanently displayed in this prairie location, 800 kilometers from the nearest ocean.
