For countless generations, Squamish people hunted, fished, gathered resources, engaged in battle, and welcomed visitors from their canoes. This special exhibition, a partnership between the Vancouver Maritime Museum and the Squamish Nation, will take visitors through the lifecycle of a Squamish canoe —— from its roots in a stand of local temperate rainforest, through the hands of Squamish craftsmen, and throughout the Salish Sea.


In the J. Torben Karlshoej Gallery


March 1 to July 8, 2012

News of the Titanic transports the visitor back to April, 1912 to an event that was heard around the world. Oceans and time zones away, news of the Titanic sinking was front-page news even here in Vancouver. The Vancouver Maritime Museum presents an exhibit of news clippings from The Vancouver World documenting this historical event from April 15 to April 30, 1912. Read the scripts that would have captured the minds and hearts of Vancouverites a hundred years ago.
