Support
Donate to the Vancouver Maritime Museum
Our collection is a valuable resource for education and research, with 35,000 objects, 150,000 photographs, and the largest maritime library in Western Canada. Beyond our collections, we bring our collective heritage to life by inviting a diverse range of voices to share their perspectives through exhibitions, talks, and programs for all ages. Each year, 200 schools take part in education programs that build a shared sense of belonging and responsibility within our community.
As a charity, we rely on donations and sponsorships to cover 25% of our operating costs. In a normal year, earned revenue from our 60,000 annual visitors and government grants makes up the remaining 75%.
Help us inspire an appreciation for the profound relationship between humans and the sea. Become a donor today!
