    The star of the museum is without doubt the RCM Police vessel St. Roch. Having a free walk (and climb) around this vessel really gives you a sense of long durations at sea. There is no real mention of this vessel on the website?

    This was OK but I expected a lot more considering that Vancouver is a large port city. The museum was on par w/ one we went to recently in Campbell River on Vancouver Island which has a small population. The exhibits were interesting and being able to tour the boat was fun.

    The Museum is accessed via the False Creek Ferry - the landing stage is near the Aquatic Centre - (or you can drive/walk over the Burrard Street bridge). On arrival spare a few minutes to have a look at the historic yachts and boats moored there. The Museum itself is just a short walk from there, is a modern building and is air conditioned. One of their main exhibits is the "St Roch" which was an RCMP boat and was the first (apart from the Inuits) to navigate the North West Passage, with the help of an Inuit guide and his family of 7 and a number of Huskies, who lived on a small tent on deck. The boat has some narrow corridors so time on board is limited, but if you are lucky enough to get there early, you may get some extra time. The rest of the Museum had very interesting exhibits, a special display on the Prohibition Era, when rum-running from Canada to the US was big business. There were exhibits on fishing, maritime commerce etc, and a number of cinema posters with a nautical theme. The Museum closes at 5 pm, well in time to catch the last ferry back. There is no cafe/restaurant at the Museum so either take a picnic to eat outside or take a short walk up to Cornwall Avenue where there are a number of eateries.

    I like this museum. It’s small, but punches above its weight. The star is the RCMP historical polar ship St Roche that was Canada’s main arctic police patrol vessel earlier this century. The museum also has changing displays on various “local and national maritime topics such as prohibition rum running. The museum also features some great turn of the century giant ship models, and history of the famed Canadian Pacific Railway’s White Empress fleet that connected its rail service to the orient. Don’t forget to check out the small diverse marina and the many ships from around the world.

    Very well done museum. Our 4 kids age 6 to 13 had a great time with the interactive displays. Learned a lot about polar exploration. The RCMP St Roch ship was one of the most interesting I’ve been on (including Aircraft Carriers and Battleships). A must stop if visiting Granville Island.
