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: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.
