SAMSON V MARITIME MUSEUM

Owned by the City of New Westminster and Operated by The Royal Agricultural & Industrial Society of BC

Please check Samson V Maritime Museum Official Website for information on exhibitions, contact, location and hours.

Samson V is a wooden, steam-powered, sternwheel snagpuller now open as a Maritime Museum. She is sole survivor of the once numerous Fraser River paddlewheelers.

Onboard, you're welcome to tour the galley, mess, cabins and engine area, all restored (or nearly restored) to their original condition. From the Museum's tour guides, the photograph display panels, and the interpretive brochures, you'll get a sense of what life was like on a working riverboat, as well as learn about the Fraser River, early riverboat Captains, and other river trivia.
