The Vancouver Maritime Museum‘s newest feature exhibit Across the Top of the World: the Quest for the Northwest Passage may just be the coolest thing on your cultural agenda this summer (pun intended). Learn all about  the European quest for the Northwest Passage, an oceanic shortcut from the Atlantic to the Pacific across the top of North America. The exhibit features the people and environment of the Arctic, the search for John Franklin’s lost expedition and the recent discovery of HMS Erebus by Parks Canada. Learn all about these exciting voyages of discovery…then come to the Cannery to hear about how all that lead got into the explorers’ food!
