St. Roch Engine Room Tours


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 12/18/2022
A visit to the VMM must include some time aboard the St. Roch. It’s our most popular exhibition, and with good reason. The first vessel to make the west-east traverse of the Northwest Passage and the first to circumnavigate North America via the Panama Canal, the St. Roch is one accomplished ship. Six days a week, visitors to the museum can explore the decks and cabins and look around the focs’le. They can also climb the ladder up to the upper deck and wheelhouse. On special occasional days, we offer tours of the St. Roch engine room. On these special days, you get to see a part of the ship not available to the public most of the time. And your experience is guided by an expert.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

The one-hour tour begins on the mezzanine around the ship. Then you’re taken aboard the St. Roch for a full tour. You’ll start with the decks before heading to the engine room and stowage areas.

The tour will be led by an experienced team of volunteers. These volunteers have stories to tell, stories that are only shared on tours. You’ll learn what it was like to be a sailor in the Arctic, one of the harshest climates in the world, in the early 20th century. You’ll learn about the workings of the ship’s engine and you’ll hear stories about the captain and crew that even some VMM staff have never heard before.

The next St. Roch engine room tour is August 22 and November 21. There are limited spots available for the St. Roch engine room tours, so book your spot soon.

Tickets:

  • $13.50 for adults
  • $11 for seniors and students,
  • $10 for youth.

The tour ticket includes free admission to the museum.
