Fodor's Expert Review Maritime Museum of British Columbia

If you have any interest in the province's seafaring history then this museum is for you. Its current location is a temporary one while its home base in Victoria's original courthouse undergoes seismic upgrades. Although the smaller space means that many of its artifacts are in storage, and displays aren't as interactive as some museums, enthusiasts will still see a selection of model ships, weaponry, ships' wheels, and photographs that chronicle the province's seafaring history, from its early explorers to whale hunters to pirates.
