Graveyard of the Pacific
It  is a dark and stormy night, waves are crashing over the deck, when suddenly a jagged rock appears... Can you imagine how it feels to be shipwrecked? In this bilingual (French/English) site, the BC Maritime Museum takes you on a tour of Vancouver Island shipwrecks. Stories cover shipwrecks from the early years of Vancouver trade and exploration to the days when invincible ships sank or mysteriously disappeared. Read the Shipwreck Times, where tales of tragedy, courage, and survival are told through newspaper clippings, interviews, journal entries, and official statements. Navigate the map showing where ships rest in peace. Steer a ship through the treacherous waters to safety or peril. Whew! Aren't you glad it's just virtual? (in History) |
