Marine Museum of Manitoba

The Marine Museum of Manitoba at Selkirk, Manitoba, was established in 1972 to gather ships, artifacts, and items relating to shipping, to tell the story of the development and the operation of transportation on Lake Winnipeg and the Red River. The period secured by the Museum's presentations begins around 1850 and keeps on introducing day. The Marine Museum is a non-benefit association worked by a leading body of nearby subjects working under the name of The Marine Museum of Manitoba Selkirk Inc.

With help from the City of Selkirk and adjacent organizations, and from both the commonplace and central government, the gallery's motivation is to gather, save, research, display and translate its accumulation of authentic ancient rarities. Among its gathering of boats, the Motor Ship Keenora was the principal gained by the historical center. Deserted in the Selkirk Slough in 1966, the MS Keenora was acquired from Marine Transport Navigation Company in 1972, by a gathering of twenty Selkirk specialists. In the late spring of 1973 the Keenora was expelled from the waters of the Red River on the Selkirk dry dock, at that point delayed its bottom, over the grass of Selkirk Park, to its present area, close to the recreation center passage.
