"St. Roch is a wood-hulled boat-and a small one, at just 32m/104ft, built in a Vancouver shipyard in 1928. The schooner is permanently dry-docked inside the museum."

"Model ships, navigational gear, maps, charts, posters, and everything to do with Vancouver’s marine past, including a collection of vintage boats...main attraction will always be the RCMP patrol ship"
