But last year, the museum attracted just 21,000 visitors -- an average of 50 a day. That puts it in the same boat it was in nearly 50 years ago, despite having the largest collection of maritime artifacts in Canada.

Everyone's hooked on the internet now, few care about real world artifacts.

By the way, I completely missed that the Maritime Museum has a new director and that Greg Evans is gone. When did this happen? Anyone have any details?

from cfaxPrice guesstimated for floating museum
January 31 2012
The President of the Maritime Museum Society suggests a floating museum ...larger than the current premises in Bastion Square...might be built for as little as ten million dollars.
Barry Rolston first raised the idea of a floating museum late last year, after the organization failed in its bid for the lease on the historic CPR steamship building.
Since then, Rolston has been working with a committee to flesh out details...
"The actual floating structure will be 2...2 1/2 million (dollars), that's the actual platform. Then on top of that we'd be building a two storey, perhaps with a larger gable for a tall exhibit, structure on the top"
He says there are several examples, some of them in B-C, of floating structures of the size that the museum would need. Rolston says early discussions are already underway with a variety of stakeholders, who's approval would be needed for such a structure in the harbour.
