Canadian Maritime Memorials and Museums

Most recent update: May 5, 2021.

This table attempts to list all the ships and boats, wherever built, that have been retired from active service and preserved either as a memorial or as part of a museum, if not both. Some are not technically either museums or memorials, just old boats that have been rescued from the scrap yard. Recreational craft and boats that are so small that they do not require a crew are not included. Replicas are not included either, only original vessels. A lot of credit for this table goes to Kevin Kopp, who came up with links to boats that I would probably never have found otherwise.
