The Maritime Heritage Society is a community-driven non-profit in Campbell River, BC, dedicated to celebrating and preserving West Coast seafaring history. Through the Maritime Heritage Centre, historic vessels like the iconic BCP 45, hands-on exhibits, and vibrant public programs, the Society connects people to the ocean stories that shaped the region. Volunteers, educators, and local partners keep maritime skills, memories, and traditions alive while welcoming new voices and perspectives. Part museum, part gathering place, the Society inspires curiosity, stewardship, and salt-sprayed pride in the past, present, and future of coastal life.
