The Museum is now in the process of moving again and will reopen in 2015 in its new location.
The Maritime Museum of BC first opened its doors to the public in 1955 on Signal Hill just outside the gates of the HMC Dockyard in Esquimalt.
By 1965, the museum had outgrown its original location and found a new home in the former Supreme Court building in Bastion Square − the oldest surviving Courthouse in the province!
The Maritime Museum of BC presents stories from the province's rich and vast nautical roots.The Maritime Museum of BC is also home to three very singular sailboats − Dorothy, Trekka and Tilikum − each with their own incredible story of adventure and enchantment.
The museum cares for over 35,000 unique artifacts, in excess of 40,000 historical photographs and an internationally recognized chart collection. The Museum also offers a range of popular public and school programs which will be offered as outreach programs during our closure.
