We’re launching a brand new fundraiser for the next three weeks, in support of our programs at the Maritime Museum of BC: the Sea Song Showdown!

Help us raise $10,000 by June 24 while immersing yourself in maritime music!

Support programs like our Salty Sundays for all ages, school programs and Museum Tots, and more year-round with a donation, a share, or by singing along!

To help spread the word, local maritime businesses and organizations, including our very own volunteer Salt Sea Singers, are representing one of the eight classic sea songs for three weeks of match-ups in the Sea Song Showdown. 

Explore the context and history each song, and see if you don’t come away with a new favourite!
