博物館的面積不大，大約一小時就可以走勻全館，但對溫哥華的海事發展有詳細我記錄，特別是日本漁民在加拿大的歷史。此外博物館也有展出溫哥華市從十九世紀到現在的市貌變遷。 more »

The museum has a small area and is able to walk the evenly in about a hour, but there are detailed details of the maritime development of Vancouver, especially the history of Japanese fishermen in Canada. Moreover, the museum also exhibits the city of Vancouver from the 19 century to the present.
