Feature Exhibit
Iced In: The St.Roch Collection
Discover the material history behind one of Canada’s most iconic Arctic vessels. Iced In: The St. Roch Collection presents a curated selection of artifacts and archival material that document the St. Roch’s historic journeys through the Northwest Passage.
This visible storage exhibition brings together Inuit tools and technologies, shipboard equipment, and environmental and cultural artifacts that reflect the realities of Arctic travel—where survival depended on skill, adaptation, and deep knowledge of the land and sea.
Opening alongside the Vancouver Maritime Museum’s ongoing St. Roch revitalization work, the exhibition offers visitors a chance to engage with the broader story of the vessel through the objects that supported its voyages and shaped its legacy.
Iced In: The St. Roch Collection invites close looking, quiet discovery, and reflection on the many hands, cultures, and environments connected to the St. Roch’s Arctic history.
