SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening - Getting Tiddley: Navy Uniforms from Cap to Boot
DESCRIPTION:Step into the boots of a recruit and explore the evolution of the Royal Canadian Navy through the uniforms worn by those who served. From the iconic “square rig” of the 1940s to the high-tech safety gear of today\, Getting Tiddley reveals how the navy uniform is a symbol of rank\, a tool for survival\, and a representation of Canada. \n\n\n\nThe term “Tiddley” is naval slang for looking smart\, neat\, and sharp. This exhibition traces that standard of excellence through over eighty years of transformation\, highlighting the moments when the Navy began to forge its own path distinct from British traditions.The Maritime Museum of BC is pleased to offer special admission rates for the duration of the exhibition. All active Canadian military personnel\, Veterans\, and their families will receive 20% off admission. Additionally\, any service member who visits the exhibition in uniform will receive free admission for themselves. \n\n\n\nThis exhibit runs until November 14\, 2026.
