The Maritime Museum of British Columbia is celebrates its 70th birthday today, on April 18, 2025.
Your memories, your family stories, your snapshots and videos, and your experiences on or by the water are all part of what makes living on the coast so uniquely maritime. Thanks to participants who submitted their own maritime memories, an incredible variety of marine experiences were collected.
You can view all the collected memories now on our website:
What is a Maritime Memory?
A maritime life is not restricted to one career or experience: your maritime memory can be a monumental adventure at sea or a small cherished moment, and anything in between.
We invited our communities to send their favourite memory of coastal life.
