In 1944, the RCMP St Roch was in its prime and has since become a famous vessel in Canada. Its last sail found itself mooring in Vancouver, where it is now permanently on display at the Vancouver Maritime Museum. Step on board and look at the cozy quarters sailors had to endure as they sailed the rough seas. What makes this ship so special is that it was the first ship to circumnavigate all of North America. Along with the permanent displays, they have a number of temporary exhibits that sail in and out of the museum. There are fun activities for kids to do that are interactive and will get their creative juices flowing.
