For more than 60 years, the Vancouver Maritime Museum (VMM) has been sharing stories about maritime heritage in British Columbia and the Canadian Arctic that reflect a diverse range of voices. Its mission is to be a center for dialogue, research, expression, and experience regarding the maritime heritage of the Pacific and Arctic Oceans, and its vision is to be a world-class maritime museum and heritage center. It strives to build a shared sense of belonging within its community by inspiring visitors to appreciate the profound relationship between humans and the sea.
VMM is nestled in Vanier Park in the Kitsilano neighborhood of Vancouver, an ancestral fishing ground known as Sen̓áḵw to the Squamish Nation. Strengthening its connections with First Nations communities, VMM offers activities curated by First Nations representatives through workshops, collecting, and collaborations with First Nations and other cultural institutions. The museum is committed to highlighting a greater diversity of stories reflecting Indigenous coastal communities and people from diverse west coast cultures, pro-actively seeking out and documenting the maritime heritage of the future.
As the primary repository for maritime history on the west coast of Canada, VMM houses more than 15,000 artifacts, a significant portion of which is owned by the City of Vancouver but managed, preserved, curated, and exhibited by the non-profit Vancouver Maritime Museum Society. Programs cover a vast range of marine-related topics, including shipwrecks, lighthouses and steamship lines, coastal trade, deep-ocean exploration, and the interaction of coastal communities with the sea. McCann Archives consists of archival materials related to vessels, shipping companies, and maritime personalities. The collections exist in various formats, including processed textual records, photographs, ship plans, and maps and charts dating from 1892 to the present day.
