Naval Marine Archive

The Naval Marine Archive: The Canadian Collection in downtown Picton is one of Canada’s leading maritime libraries and research centres, housed in a historic Main Street building just steps from the harbour. A not-for-profit charitable organization, it combines an extensive library of marine and aeronautical books with galleries of marine art, ship models and rotating exhibitions presented with the Canadian Society of Marine Artists. Its collections range from yachting, merchant shipping and naval history to Arctic exploration, First Nations material, and local/Great Lakes history, making it an essential stop for anyone interested in Canada’s maritime heritage.
