On April 18, the Vancouver Maritime Museum welcomes the legendary SV Maple Leaf to Heritage Harbour for a rare, one-night visit.
Built in 1904 in Vancouver, Maple Leaf is more than a ship—she’s a living piece of coastal history. From her early days as one of the Pacific Coast’s most luxurious racing yachts, to decades as a hardworking halibut fishing vessel in the Bering Sea, and now as a beautifully restored expedition schooner, her story spans over a century of transformation, resilience, and exploration.
At 92 feet long, crafted from Douglas fir, yellow cedar, and mahogany, Maple Leaf blends rugged capability with remarkable craftsmanship. Today, she welcomes small groups, offering an intimate, immersive way to experience some of the wildest and most remote coastlines in British Columbia and Alaska.
“Welcoming Maple Leaf to Heritage Harbour is an opportunity to connect our community with a vessel that embodies the depth and diversity of BC’s maritime history,” said Emma Forgie, Programs Coordinator at Vancouver Maritime Museum. “Her story reflects the evolution of our coast—from industry to exploration—and continues to inspire new generations.”
For one evening only, you’re invited to experience her world—right here on Vancouver’s waterfront.
Saturday, April 18th - 5:30pm—8:30pm
Heritage Harbour activations: Free | All ages welcome
Evening talk in Museum: 19+ | Ticket required (pay what you can)
I can't get the link to work for tickets.
I am in an area of less than desirable internet service, and I can't reachout to the Museum to get the link
Perhaps one of you can find the link and post it up.
