The Maritime Museum of British Columbia gratefully acknowledges the financial investment by the Department of Canadian Heritage in the creation of this on-line presentation for the Virtual Museum of Canada.

A project of this size and scope relies on many knowledgeable and enthusiastic people with a wide variety of interests and experience.  Together we have explored ideas, geography, technology, history and even myth.  The contributions, commentary and enthusiasm of everyone involved are appreciated.
