The centre is the home of BC Packers 45, a 53 foot table-seiner fishing vessel built in 1927. By chance, a photograph was taken of the vessel in 1958 while she was working. This photograph would be duplicated by the Canadian Mint for the $5 bill (1972-1988). She was one of 185 exhibits at Expo 86 in Vancouver; Macleans magazine chose her as the 6th rated exhibit. In 2002 the vessel came into Campbell River under her own power. She is the grand old centrepiece of a building that was designed around her. It is more interesting and fun to board her and look around her cramped crew quarters, tiny bridge, and tight engine compartment. It would have taken a pretty hardy group of men to sail her. Good news...the centre shares a parking lot with the Discovery Fishing Pier. You can bring your license and fish or simply take a walk on the pier to enjoy the view over Campbell River’s large harbour and breakwater. Canteen and washroom facilities are available.
