Maritime
Museum of British Columbia |
| Why is part or all of Vancouver Island
not part of the United States or Russia?
Why doesn’t the southern boundary
of Canada extend south to the mouth of
the Columbia River? Why does Alaska extend
"down" the West Coast to Prince
Rupert? Why are there so many Spanish
names in and around Victoria and on Vancouver
Island? Were the Chinese the first to
reach the West Coast of North America
- by sea - long before the people of the
First Nations? All of these fascinating
questions are explored in the exhibits
on the first floor of the Maritime Museum
of British Columbia. Phone: 1-(250) 385-4222 |
