The Vancouver Maritime Museum celebrates the region's seafaring history with a collection of model ships, navigational instruments, and the iconic St. Roch, a Royal Canadian Mounted Police schooner that was the first vessel to circumnavigate North America. Visitors can tour the St. Roch's cramped quarters and learn about Arctic exploration. Interactive exhibits cover shipbuilding, fishing, and the port's role in Vancouver's growth. The museum's location on the waterfront adds to the nautical atmosphere.
