Maritime Museum of British Columbia Review
In Victoria's original courthouse, these two floors of model ships, weaponry, ships' wheels, and photographs chronicle the province's seafaring history, from its early explorers to whale hunters to pirates. Among the hand-built boats on display is the Tilikum, a dugout canoe that sailed from Victoria to England between 1901 and 1904. On the third floor, the original 1888 vice-admiralty courtroom looks ready for a court-martial.
