Marine Garage Sale A Treasure Trove

April 13th, 2010

Running now for its 7th consecutive year, the Maritime Museum's Massive Marine Garage Sale has something for everyone. Presented in partnership with the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority, the sale takes place 9:00am-1:00pm on Saturday April 24th at the Pier A warehouse building at Ogden Point. Excellent deals will be featured from a selection of vendors on items ranging from full sized boats to rarer marine objects and everything in between.

"Every year I find at least one treasure," says James Webb, Senior Protocol Officer with the Maritime Pacific Forces and a boating enthusiast. "The Massive Marine Garage Sale is one of the most anticipated boating events of the year."

For a small $5 entrance fee, the Massive Marine Garage Sale brings together cost conscious boaters looking for bargains. Early arrival is highly recommended as hot ticket items are often the first to go.

The Maritime Museum of BC will be hosting the event, selling various marine paraphernalia donated by supporters, and providing a refreshment stand.

Located in the heart of Bastion Square, the Maritime Museum of BC has a wealth of artifacts and history and is a fantastic place to get a glimpse back into the nautical customs of the North Pacific. With exhibits ranging from pirates to heritage vessels and Victoria's original 1889 Courtroom, the MMBC is always a fascinating visit.
