I hadn't been to the MMBC for close to thirty years and my partner had never visited it, so we spent some time here on a rainy Tuesday.

Even if you don't know much of BC's history you'll feel the connection to the water with the myriad boat models and displays. More

Here is a joy to see in the Bastion Square when you are there. The museum is a hidden gem that most people overlook, please don't. If you have any nautical bones in your body this museum will please, remember to take in the museum at HMCS NADEN as well - they both tie in together well. More

The Maritime Museum has a great collection of artifacts and presents information in a detailed, updated, easy to view way. The museum provides a great overview of maritime activity along the west coast. The building itself is rather neat to explore too! More

Amazing collection of artifacts in a fantastic location however because of lack of funding it is poorly organized. They do have the oldest working birdcage elevator in North America which is worth checking out More
