FRIENDS MAKE A DIFFERENCE
As a Friend of the Vancouver Maritime Museum you will experience an exciting year of programs and exhibits – tours, special events, lectures, and openings. Please consider supporting the Museum’s mandate to educate, preserve and inspire. Your help will make a difference – as we continue to be our region’s link to the sea, joining past, present and future
by providing exhibitions, programs, and services to enhance your appreciation of the contributions of maritime arts, culture, industry, science and history.
Educate
Education is the cornerstone of the Maritime Museum. Our programs instill a sense of adventure and excitement about the maritime world and are designed for school children, the general public who visit us, and people who attend our workshops, interactive programs, and lectures. The Museum is a valuable resource for researchers; our collections, archives and library are available to the public as is our expert staff.
Preserve
We protect the irreplaceable for future generations and conserve the thousands of artifacts entrusted to our care. We also strive to preserve the stories that link the artifacts to real people and their experiences.
Inspire
The Maritime Museum is a magical place that inspires all ages, landlubbers and old salts alike, where the young and young at heart thrill to the adventures within our galleries. We inspire all to be life-long learners and everyone who enters our world gains a deeper understanding of how people respond to and interact with the sea.
