Visit to the St Roch

 

Captained by Henry Larsen, the RCMP schooner St. Roch was the first ship to completely circumnavigate North America and the second sailing vessel to complete a voyage through the Northwest Passage. She was the first ship to complete the Northwest Passage in the direction west to east, and returned east to west.
 
She is now part of the Maritime Museum in Vancouver. We have posted a tour on our Flickr page:
