William Purvis Marine Museum
The William Purvis Marine Centre museum is dedicated to preserve and promote the marine history of the Great Lakes with displays organized around specific themes. Through publications, speakers, open houses, and the hosting of other activities, the marine museum helps preserve the history of the Great Lakes and makes it accessible to the public.
The marine museum contains an archive of records derived from the Great Lakes marine history and photographs of its many Great Lakes ships. The archive, and the museum draw people who want to research the history of the Great Lakes shipping to The Harbour Centre.
Buck Longhurst is foremost a historian, and his passion is to preserve the lesser-known history of the Great Lakes. Buck has published many books for sale at the museum and gives numerous lecture series.
