The Maritime Museum of BC is located in a former provincial courthouse in old Victoria's Bastion Square. The 1889 building is now a National Historic Site which features the fully restored courtroom where former provincial Chief Justice Matthew Baillie Begbie - "The Hanging Judge" - once handed down his sentences.

The colourful story of BC's maritime history is told in various themed galleries, including Early Exploration, Whaling, Canadian Pacific Steamships, BC Ferries, and the Royal Canadian Navy.

The Maritime Museum of BC has a very active events calendar. Find out what's happening during your visit at http://mmbc.bc.ca/happening.html

Popular tours for groups are available on topics such as immigration, women at sea, pirates and privateers, the fur trade, and many more! Please contact the Museum for more information.
