Sea Song Showdown Fundraiser
June 3, 2024 @ 12:00 pm – June 24, 2024 @ 9:00 am
The Maritime Museum of BC is launching a brand new fundraiser for the next three weeks, in support of programs for all ages: the Sea Song Showdown! Help the Museum raise $10,000 by June 24 while immersing yourself in maritime music!
There are two components to this fundraiser: donating to support vital year-round programs for Victoria communities; and spreading the word with maritime music.
Song Ambassadors recorded videos representing eight favourite and classic sea songs and sea shanties, which will be pitted against one another each week of the campaign. Until June 24 the public are invited to vote on weekly match-ups to help the Museum declare a 2024 Champion Song!

How can you support this fundraiser?
Donate to the Maritime Museum of BC in support of their programs: to help share maritime experiences with communities in Victoria, and give staff the resources to continue their impactful work.
Vote for a sea song and, if you like, share why you love it and what we’re doing here this summer at the Maritime Museum of BC! Voting is free and you can listen to all the songs on our blog [link] while discovering some of their context and meaning.
