SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: No Walk in the Woods: The History of the West Coast Trail
DESCRIPTION:A landscape of forbidding bluffs and nearly impassible brush\, punctuated by the ominous sound of crashing waves\, hardly seems like the route to salvation for anyone escaping a sinking ship. For those unlucky enough to find themselves in just that situation along the unforgiving southwestern edge of Vancouver Island\, the rough trail over slick rocks and fallen trees may have been their only chance. \n\n\n\nThe 75 kilometer stretch of coastline from Bamfield to Port Renfrew has evolved from a narrow telegraph track carved into the woods to one of the most popular hiking destinations in less than a century. \n\n\n\nCome along with us as we follow the rain-soaked path from the tragic wreck of the S.S. Valencia\, that led to the creation of the lifesaving trail\, to the stories of adventurers who brave the modern-day West Coast Trail. Meet some of the characters who devoted themselves to helping others\, sometimes at great personal cost\, and learn what was done to try to prevent a small portion of the Graveyard of the Pacific from claiming even more lives.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Michael Hadley (Boxing the Compass: A Life of Seafaring\, Music\, and Pilgrimage)
DESCRIPTION:An award-winning historian and mariner takes readers on an engrossinginternational journey of self-discovery that explores timely themes of humanconflict\, ethics\, and reconciliation. \n\n\n\nIncluded in admission to the Maritime Museum of BC\, this event will run in the museum gallery. There will be a Q&A period and a book signing\, with copies available in the museum gift shop. \n\n\n\nWalk-ins are welcome\, but registering ahead ensures you get a spot! \n\n\n\n\nRegister Now\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book\n\n\n\nA member of the so-called Silent Generation\, Michael Hadley has a great deal to say in his twilight years. Opening with his Depression-era childhood on a lonely lighthouse on the west coast of Vancouver Island\, this remarkably nuanced memoir spans decades\, countries\, and oceans. \n\n\n\nHadley’s reflections move through his years growing up in wartime Vancouver in the 1940s\, his concert tours on the British vaudeville stage in the 1950s\, and his early teaching career in Manitoba in the 1960s. He shares his naval service on both coasts and on the Great Lakes\, and his professional experience in Germany\, where unexpected friendships with former submariners trigger an interest in how countries deal with difficult wartime pasts. \n\n\n\nHuman conflict\, ethics\, and multi-faith engagement in criminal justice reform and Restorative Justice shape Hadley’s understandings of reconciliation\, taking him on prison visits across Canada\, the UK\, and Uganda. Whether examining ancient historical sites and battlegrounds\, navigating at sea\, or riding camels in the desert\, he seeks universal patterns of human experience. At once a deeply personal chronicle of a fascinating life and a measured\, mature reflection on some of the most cataclysmic events of the past century\, Boxing the Compass is an unforgettable journey that will leave readers reflecting on the experiences that affect us all. \n\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\n\nMichael Hadley is an award-winning writer\, scholar\, yachtsman\, retired naval officer\, international traveller\, and lecturer. He is the author and editor of several books on naval and maritime history\, including Spindrift: A Canadian Book of the Sea (co-edited with Anita Hadley) and Citizen Sailors: Chronicles of Canada’s Naval Reserve\, 1910–2010 (co-edited with Richard H. Gimlett)\, and his work has won such prestigious awards as the John Lyman Prize of the North American Society for Oceanic History and the Keith Matthews Award of the Canadian Nautical Research Society. He is a Professor Emeritus at the University of Victoria\, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada\, and was awarded the Lieutenant-Governor’s Award for Maritime Achievement in 2023.

SUMMARY:Nautical Nights: The Coffin Ship: Superstition and Incompetence in the S.S. Clallam Tragedy
DESCRIPTION:One-hundred-and-twenty years after one of the worst maritime disasters in the Pacific Northwest\, historian Erik Kosick joins our Nautical Nights Speaker Series to delve into the history of The Coffin Ship: Superstition and Incompetence in the S.S. Clallam Tragedy. \n\n\n\nIn January 1904\, the 6-month-old steamer Clallam foundered in the Strait on Juan de Fuca\, with the loss of at least 54 lives\, the worst maritime disaster in the Pacific Northwest since the wreck of the Pacific in 1875. Struggling in a gale\, the steamer had fallen into distress only three miles from Victoria’s harbour\, well within sight of onlookers ashore. Launched in fear of an immediate sinking\, her lifeboats became deathtraps in the Strait\, drowning all that entered them. The steamer remained afloat for several more hours. When the Clallam finally slid below the waves of the Strait\, only fourteen of her passengers survived; every woman and child was lost\, while nearly all the crew survived. Victoria was hit particularly hard by the tragedy\, as many of the victims came from the city. Rumblings of ill omens surrounded Clallam’s launch and final voyage and was posthumously labeled as the ‘Hoodoo Ship’. \n\n\n\nDespite unbroken champagne bottles and nervous bellwether sheep\, the causes of Clallam’s wreck were not supernatural. In fact\, she had been well-liked by the traveling public and had passed all inspections. As Canadian and American investigations in the wreck revealed a culture of incompetence and corruption inside the steamboat industry\, grief turned to anger in an explosive scandal that sowed Canadian wariness of American steamships. On the American side\, the inquiries were a source of local and national contention; the Clallam would be an ignored warning for worse maritime disasters soon to come. 120 years after the tragedy\, through rarely seen photographs and objects\, writer and historian Erik Kosick will take you aboard the final voyage of the Clallam\, exploring the stories of her passengers and crew\, and how this almost forgotten shipwreck drastically altered the course of the maritime industry in the Salish Sea. \n\n\n\nThe Speaker – Erik Kosick\n\n\n\nErik Kosick graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in History from Pacific Lutheran University in 2016\, and currently works for the Washington State Historical Society in Tacoma. Erik has a strong interest in Pacific Northwest history\, particularly in maritime history. In 2020\, he consulted and donated artifacts for the Society’s exhibit Unforgiving Waters: Shipwrecks of the Pacific Northwest. Erik was a historical consultant and presenter for the 2023 documentary Death is With Me\, on the 1937 ‘Lady of the Lake’ murder case at Lake Crescent\, Washington. \n\n\n\nHe also writes for the Washington State Historical Society’s magazine COLUMBIA under the feature Maps and Legends. The Clallam disaster is a fascination of his and has been researching the shipwreck since 2009. He also presented a lecture on the shipwreck for the Pacific Northwest History Conference in October 2020 and a corresponding feature article for COLUMBIA. He is also nearing completion of a book concerning the tragedy.
