The Vancouver Maritime Museum has a fabulous collection
of Northwest Passage memorabilia. It is the principal
maritime museum on the Pacific Coast of Canada, and one
of the major maritime museums on the West Coast of North
America. The Vancouver Maritime Museum is the greater
Vancouver region's link to maritime history, art, culture
and technology, relating the past to the present and looking
to the future through its programs and exhibitions. |
