Victoria

Victoria is the capital city of British Columbia, Canada. Located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is a major tourism destination seeing more than 3.65 million visitors a year who inject more than one billion dollars into the local economy. Victoria is a cruise ship port where cruise liners stop at Ogden Point terminal. The city also receives economic benefits from its close proximity to Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt, the Canadian military’s main Pacific naval base. Downtown Victoria also serves as Greater Victoria's regional downtown, where many night clubs, theatres, restaurants and pubs are clustered, and where much larger regional public events occur. In particular, Canada Day fireworks displays and Symphony Splash and VEMF concerts draw tens of thousands of Greater Victorians and visitors to the downtown core.

In the fall of 1977, a small group led by Bob Leach of the Sidney Gaffers and Keith Cameron of the Maritime Museum of BC got together at the museum to plan the building of a replica of John Mears? ship, the Northwest America, for the Captain Cook bicentenary. The provincial economy was struggling at the time and a request for a provincial grant had been turned down. It became apparent that sufficient corporate funding would not be available in time to get the ship under construction for 1978.
