The Maritime Museum of BC is thrilled to announce that it will be hosting the exhibit titled Our Fleet: Small Craft with a Story from 23 November 2021 to 14 May 2022.

The Maritime Museum of BC cares for three vessels in its collections: Tilikum, Dorothy, and Trekka. Each of these vessels has deep roots in BC’s coastal history and each carries her own stories of adventure and adversity. Two of the three vessels have had international adventures, with one completing a trip around the world. Though unique in many ways, including their materials and structure, all three vessels share one thing in common: they have all inspired generations of mariners in the Pacific Northwest.

Visit the Maritime Museum of BC to learn the stories of these three small crafts and what makes them all special.
