Located in New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada, Samson V was a sternwheel snagpuller that worked on the Fraser River, until her retirement in 1980 when she was restored and transformed into a Maritime Museum.

In this site, you'll find information about:

• The Museum
• The vessel's history
• Our educational programs, and
• The vessel's restoration and maintenance process.

You can also meet Samson V's crew (in the Teachers' Corner), take a photograph tour of the Museum, or look up new words in our glossary of nautical and boatbuilding terms. And when you're finished visiting us, we offer a long list of recommended links

There's everything from the general to the technical. We hope you enjoy your visit.
