Ladysmith Maritime Museum

When the Ladysmith Maritime Society was established in 1985, one of its stated goals was to build a maritime museum. Today that dream is a reality. In fact, in 2008, we became an award-winning museum! We are very proud of the work our volunteer curator, Shirley, has done.

If you visit our docks you will see two large blue boat sheds near the ramp. The outer shed houses two of our restored heritage boats, the Saravan and the C.A. Kirkegard. The other is our floating museum. You'll find interesting displays of the local harbour industries.

We are a non-profit society, committed to preserving, promoting and perpetuating Ladysmith's rich maritime heritage. Revenues from our community marina are used to fund the museum.

We welcome donations in support of our work if you choose to make one.
