heheh this stop was not intended for community shuttles, especially after we tried it anyways
Staff was super nice. They have a full sized ship inside the museum! Not part of it, or just above decks - the whole thing bow to stern, crow's nest to keel. It's basically in a drydock inside and you can walk down below to see the hull, prop, rudder etc.
It was a sail + engine vessel used in trying help find the Northwest Passage that you can actually go aboard and walk around in. Climbing up the ladder to the wheelhouse was especially fun. They have a simple but neat simulator too that lets you pretend to drive the ship through icebergs.
Their collection of lumber tugs and native canoes was pretty impressive also. Great place to take anyone interested in ships or the sea culture of native peoples of the Arctic as they have many original artifacts.

nice and convinient, a bit pricy but it is acceptable given how much time they can save for you. The marina is super cool as well.
The little ferry goes from here to the West End at Sunset Beach and then to Granville Island. Great little boats, friendly crews and beautiful scenery. Fantastic little trip.
There are couple interesting boats to look at. It is too bad cannot embark on the old police boat to look inside; no reason for restrictions at all.
This dock is located at the Vancouver Maritime Museum's Heritage Harbour in Vanier Park. A short walk from here to Kitsilano Beach, Museum of Vancouver and HR MacMillan Space Centre. Catch the ferry here to go to Granville Island and other False Creek Ferry Docks.
