Captain Henry A. Larsen on the foredeck of the R.C.M.P. St. Roch
HMS Discovery (1789) Model in the Vancouver Maritime Museum
The main exhibit is the St. Roch,[1] a historic arctic exploration vessel used by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The museum also has extensive galleries of model ships,[1] including one with historic model ships built entirely from cardboard or paper as well as a particularly fine bone model of the French warship Vengeur du Peuple which was built around 1800 by French prisoners of war, a Children's Maritime Discovery Centre, a recreation of the forecastle of Vancouver's ship Discovery, an extensive collection of maritime art, and a large library and archives.[citation needed]
Outdoor displays include the NASA undersea research vessel Ben Franklin and the boiler of the Beaver, the first steamship in the Pacific Northwest; it also has a small heritage harbour. There is a workshop where visitors can watch craftsmen build models. Of particular significance is the extensive Chung collection of material relating to Canadian Pacific steamships and original hand-drawn charts from Captain Cook's exploration of the Pacific. This collection is separate from the Wally Chung material housed at the Rare Books and Archives Collection at the University of British Columbia.[citation needed]
Outdoor exhibits at the museum include Ben Franklin, an undersea research vessel that was used by NASA.
