Supporting a Good Cause
The Vancouver Maritime Museum
While visiting Vancouver for the CPS-ECP Fall Conference
I took time out on my free Thursday to walk from the Conference Centre to the Vancouver Maritime Museum where
the famous Canadian ship the St. Roch is housed.
Built in 1928 the St. Roch was to become the RCMP patrol boat for the Canadian Arctic operating out of the port
of Vancouver. So for many years it did just that until the
hostilities of 1939 began. The Canadian Parliament being
concerned about its Arctic sovereignty decided that this vessel should travel through the Arctic on a secret reconnaissance mission and then make for Halifax on the east coast.
As a result the St. Roch and her crew under the command of
Henry Larson completed the first west to east passage of the
North West Passage. Then in 1944 , after an extensive refit
in Halifax a return trip was ordered to Vancouver which saw
Larson and his vessel complete another passage. Eventually
the St. Roch was retired in Vancouver in the mid 1950s and
a special 'A' frame building was eventually constructed to
house it. This building along with several more became the
present Vancouver Maritime Museum.
The vessel is on display along with many other fascinating Arctic stories and artifacts from the past. In the late
1990s a major restoration project was launched to preserve
the vessel and to repair the old 'A' Frame structure which
houses the St. Roch. Having read about the St. Roch and
now being able to walk on its decks again I was pleased to
find a very good book available at the museum called Arctic
Workhorse by James P. Delgado. It is a fine collection of
photos, facts and tells the story of our famous vessel and
our rather remote and interesting Arctic.
The Vancouver Marine Museum is certainly worth a visit
and there is plenty of free parking. So if you find yourself
in Vancouver do drop by as you can actually walk on the
ship's famous decks and see how Larson and his crew lived
and carried out their task of Arctic exploration over seventy
years ago.

Cruising Destination: The Madeira Archipelago - Garden of the Atlantic: The Madeira Archipelago is a mid-Atlantic group of islands with volcanic origins located about 350 miles off the coast of Morocco. If you're thinking of visiting, you'll be happy to learn that there have been no volcanic eruptions for 6,500 years. Known to the Romans as the Purple Islands, they were rediscovered by the Portuguese in the 15th century under Henry the Navigator. Today, they are an autonomous region of Portugal with a population of about 300,000. By Sheryl and Paul Shard
