Summary
The Maritime Museum of British Columbia is set for a major revival thanks to a powerful new financial lifeline from the Victoria Foundation, securing its future and preserving its iconic 1897 sailboat, Dorothy. With a recent $10,000 anonymous boost to Dorothy’s endowment and decades of partnership with the foundation, the museum is now eyeing a permanent home at the historic Steamship Terminal on the Inner Harbour — the site of its former Bastion Square location, which had to close for safety reasons in 2015. Meanwhile, a groundbreaking $40 million “Future of History” project is underway, a joint venture with Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations to create a floating cultural hub that blends Indigenous heritage with maritime history. The museum will contribute $1 million, with the rest funded by corporate sponsors, public campaigns, and federal grants — all while the province provides the land. This ambitious vision could redefine how British Columbia tells its maritime story. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
