SUMMARY:Behind-the-Scenes Collections Tours: Arctic Navigation
DESCRIPTION:About this experience\n\n\n\nHave you ever wondered what’s behind those Staff Only doors at your favourite museums? Now’s your chance to find out. Join us at the Maritime Museum of BC for a look behind the scenes. \n\n\n\nThis month’s guide is Bill Noon with a look at The MMBC’s collection of navigation artefacts. \n\n\n\nAbout Your Guide: \n\n\n\nBill Noon spent 38 years in the Canadian Coast Guard\, which was a career with many significant highlights\, including the salvage of the cruise ship “Clipper Adventurer” in the Canadian Arctic\, and as Master of CCGS Sir Wilfrid Laurier in the searches and subsequent discovery of the Franklin expedition ships Erebus and Terror). \n\n\n\nBill presently chairs the Victoria Classic Boat festival after 35 years of involvement with the festival. He is a long-standing member and past skipper of the Thermopylae Club of Victoria\, named after the famous China clipper. \n\n\n\nHe is a 40-year member of the MMBC\, having served previously six years on the board of trustees and is one of the MMBC Beaver Medal recipients for his contribution to maritime heritage on the BC Coast. \n\n\n\nBill is currently working on an ongoing 20-year project of restoring and cruising aboard the 75-year-old mission boat Messenger III. \n\n\n\n—– \n\n\n\nParticipants should meet in the lobby of 4000 Seymour Place at 1 pm on Friday\, Jan. 31st. The tour will take place from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm.  \n\n\n\nTours are limited to six participants and must be booked at least 24 hours in advance.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here
