Built in Vancouver in 1922\, the 73-foot wooden vessel Argonaut II has spent over a century on our waters. Originally launched as the corporate yacht Greta M\, she was acquired by the United Church of Canada in 1934 and rechristened the Thomas Crosby IV. For over 30 years\, she served as a crucial lifeline to more than 50 remote Northern BC ports of call\, visiting isolated lighthouses\, canneries\, logging camps\, and First Nations villages. During this era\, she was skippered by the renowned Haida leader Rev. Dr. Peter Kelly\, the first Indigenous person ordained in the United Church of Canada. \n\n\n\nBelow deck\, Argonaut II remains remarkably preserved in her mission-boat era configuration. Step inside to see the stained glass salon cabinets\, classic aft and forward staterooms\, and her historic 1939 air-start 6-cylinder Gardner engine. Offered in collaboration with the Maritime Museum of BC\, these guided tours offer a look inside a vessel undergoing an active\, community-funded restoration under owner Nicholas Verrochi. \n\n\n\nEvent Details: \n\n\n\n\nDates: Friday\, October 23 & Saturday\, October 24\, 2026\n\n\n\nTour Hours: 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM daily (Lunch break 12:00 PM – 12:30 PM)\n\n\n\nCapacity: Limited to 15 guests per tour slot\n\n\n\nLocation: Greater Victoria Harbour Authority Docks\, Inner Harbour\n\n\n\n\nBonus: Every ticket directly supports the restoration of Argonaut II and public programming at the Maritime Museum of BC\, and includes free admission to the museum!

We invite you to join Margot Dixon in the gallery when she visits to drop off Captain Scott’s scrapbook; she’ll be sharing details of her research\, and you’ll have a chance to view the scrapbook with her. \n\n\n\nAbout the Book\n\n\n\nAmongst the family albums her mother had kept\, Margot Dixon found something very curious—Captain Samuel F. Scott’s old scrapbook. Who was this man? And why did her family have his scrapbook? As she read through the book\, full of one-of-a-kind documents\, she soon realized this intriguing scrapbook was much more than a family curiosity. \n\n\n\nFrom the items within the scrapbook and Margot’s own research\, a fascinating story emerged\, one of a life on the high seas in the late nineteenth century\, sailing across some of the most dangerous waters\, facing storms\, shipwrecks\, illness\, war\, mutiny\, and tragedy.  \n\n\n\nBorn in New Brunswick\, Captain Scott\, along with his family\, sailed across the world for various shipping companies. While sailing from England to India\, his wife and two of his children tragically died. Returning to Canada\, he remarried and\, with his family in tow\, sailed three times across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. But\, after years at sea and another tragedy\, Captain Scott turned to gold mining in British Columbia\, then explored business opportunities along the west coast of Canada and the United States before his untimely death. \n\n\n\nBased on the documents in Captain Scott’s original scrapbook\, collected during his lifetime\, 1847–1905\, and then transcribed by Margot\, Captain Scott’s Scrapbook provides an intimate account of one of Canada’s most remarkable post-confederate shipmasters. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheck out the book\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\n\n​As a historian and archivist\, Margot Dixon maintained the archives for The Bank of Nova Scotia and researched social history for interpretive manuals\, including family histories\, for Upper Canada Village using primary source documents. She has presented at conferences for Living History Museums and the Costume Society of Canada as well as published articles in their journals and magazines.  URL:https://mmbc.bc.ca/event/gallery-talk-margot-dixon/ LOCATION:The Maritime Museum of BC\, 744 Douglas Street\, Victoria\, British Columbia\, V8W3M6\, Canada CATEGORIES:Adult Programs,Special Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://mmbc.bc.ca/app/uploads/2026/10/Elf-on-the-Sea-e1791520591838.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20261016T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20261016T235959 DTSTAMP:20261024T014358 CREATED:20260501T170625Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260725T184249Z UID:10002726-1792108800-1792195199@mmbc.bc.ca SUMMARY:Pay-What-You-Can Fridays DESCRIPTION:We believe that our maritime heritage should be available to everyone.

Layland will give a talk on the many ships of Philip Hankin sailed on during his time on Vancouver Island\, followed by a Q & A. \n\n\n\nThis event is FREE with museum admission\, no registration required. Signed copies of Turmoil will be available for purchase. \n\n\n\nAbout the book: \n\n\n\nHankin’s remarkable life brought abuse\, hardship\, and controversy\, adventure\, opportunity\, and reward. It earned him a place in BC history as acting head of governments at a tumultuous time\, and for recording parts of a 19th century Huu-ay-aht language. This list of common phrases and drawings lay misfiled in a British archive for more than a century until the author unearthed it during his research. \n\n\n\nAbout the Author: \n\n\n\nBorn and educated in England\, Michael Layland trained as an officer and mapmaker in the Royal Engineers of the British Army. \n\n\n\nHis extensive research of the cartographic and exploration history of Vancouver Island fuelled his first two books: The Land of Heart’s Delight: Early Maps and Charts of Vancouver Island\, & A Perfect Eden: Encounters by Early Explorers of Vancouver Island . In the third\, In Nature’s Realm\, he combined his love of exploration history with a deep\, life-long interest in the natural world.
