Float the Boat

To help combat the financial difficulties faced due to the pandemic the Maritime Museum of BC is running a fundraising campaign called “Float the Boat”! This campaign has a goal of $25,000 and will run from January 15, 2021 to March 31, 2021. Throughout the campaign we will be marking milestones by filling the tank below with water to float the boat higher and higher. We’ll be posting updates so make sure to follow along!

As a registered charity and incorporated non-profit the Maritime Museum of BC runs a variety of public programming and engagement initiatives, all with the goal of promoting and preserving BC’s maritime heritage and culture. In order to keep our programming and exhibit rates accessible to the public we rely on the help of grants and private donations. It is individuals like you who keep this boat going year after year. Join in the fun by contributing today to float the boat!
