This turn of the century deep-sea diving helmet was a critical tool in the maintenance of military equipment installed across the unruly underwater terrain of the the Pacific Ocean.
The Museum
The Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Esquimalt Naval & Military Museum is located at Naden on Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt, in the city of Victoria, which is situated on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, in the province of British Columbia, Canada.
The museum’s goal is to collect, preserve, interpret and display the history and heritage of the naval presence on Canada’s West Coast, and of the military on Southern Vancouver Island.
The museum exhibits focus on four distinct military groups that have made an impact on Canada’s history and left a lasting heritage:
Canada’s Navy on the West Coast
Canadian Women’s Army Corps (CWAC)
Women’s Royal Canadian Naval Service (WRCNS)
The West Coast Defences

The Archives
In addition to exhibits and displays, the museum houses an expanding archive and library that includes thousands of photographs and documents, histories of Canadian naval vessels, navigation charts, biographies of important leaders in the Royal Canadian Navy, ship plans, and copies of the Navy List.
