Vancouver Maritime Museum – Field Trip
$10
Field Trip information:
Come join Mrs. Maureen Krump for a guided tour at the Vancouver Maritime Museum. We will take a trip through time beginning with tales of early explorers, unpack early navigation methods, and discuss European Explorers’ first contact with British Columbia’s Indigenous Peoples from the perspective of both groups.
What to Expect
Our group will have two hours in the museum which will begin with a guided tour by Mrs. Krump. After an introduction to the museum galleries and a general discussion, students will be challenged to complete a scavenger hunt through the galleries to locate items related to early exploration and navigation. The group will also learn about explorer Henry Larson’s arctic expeditions and their significance, and complete a second scavenger hunt onboard Larson’s vessel, the St. Roch, which is housed within the museum.After the St. Roch and gallery tours, there will be plenty of time for families to independently explore the interactive children’s galleries related to West Coast tidal waters, pirates, and the various jobs and vessels found in a modern-day port.
