 EDITOR REVIEW: DOWNTOWN. Explore British Columbia's rich maritime history in this museum's extensive collection. There are 70 model ships, uniforms, weapons and artifacts that highlight the early fur trade, whaling industry, royal navy and ocean liner era. Other exhibits include a history of the BC ferry system, and an exhibit dedicated to the circumnavigation of the globe. Currently on display is the "Tilikum," the first dug-out canoe to make the attempt. Captained by John Voss, she set sail from Victoria in 1901 and arrived in England in 1904, having tackled three of the world's angriest oceans. Be sure to take a ride on the museum's ornate, gilded lift that dates from 1889 – it is the oldest operating birdcage elevator in North America.
