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:
