Last year, the Vancouver Maritime Museum organized the inauguration of the Northwest Passage Hall of Fame Awards Gala, to celebrate and commemorate the men, women, vessels and expeditions having entered the Canadian Arctic over time in their attempts to pass through the Northwest Passage. During the evening nominees for various categories will be awarded.
The Vancouver Maritime Museum is home of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) vessel St. Roch. St. Roch was the first vessel in history to sail from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean via the Northwest Passage (NWP, 1940-1942), the first vessel to sail the more northerly deep water Northwest Passage route and the first vessel to circumnavigate North America (1950). It is a Canadian National Heritage Site.
