Contact Us The "FB Esquimalt Naval and Military Museum" is situated at Naden on Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt in the city of Victoria in Canada.
Its goal is to collect, preserve, interpret and display the history and heritage of the naval presence on Canada’s West Coast and of the military on Southern Vancouver Island.
The museum exhibits focus on four distinct military groups that have made an impact on Canada's history and left a lasting heritage:
- Canada’s Navy on the West Coast
- The Canadian Women's Army Corps (CWAC)
- The Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service (WRCNS)
- The West Coast Defences
In addition to exhibits and displays, the museum houses an expanding archive and library that includes thousands of photographs and documents, histories of Canadian naval vessels, navigation charts, biographies of important leaders in the Royal Canadian Navy, and copies of the Navy List, Lloyd's Register of Shipping, and Jane's Fighting Ships.
Also have a look at the articles and projects about the Navy and Military on the West Coast of Canada on their website.
Furthermore they offer a fun "hands on" exhibit the "Oriole Children's Gallery", designed for children in the age between four and eight and educational packages for groups visiting from elementary and secondary level schools.
