as its ascinating history.

works o art, fne North Coast

and walking trails, restaurants

and coee shops, and fshing

vessels ooading seaood.

Prince Rupert was rediscovered

early in the 20th Century. Withthe deepest natural harbour and

closest in North America to Asia,

the port became the West Coast

terminus or a new China–

Europe silk trade route.

During the Second World

War, Prince Rupert emerged

as a strategic U.S. port o

embarkation to the North Pacifc

theatre. More than 150,000

troops passed through or livedin the city, many in ‘wartime

houses’ still evident today.

In 2007, Prince Rupert became

the newest gateway or the

frst Asia-North America trade

corridor to be created in

100 years.

Prince Rupert was rediscovered early in

the 20th Century as the deepest natural

harbour and closest in North America

to Asia, becoming the West Coast

terminus for a new China–Europe silk

For 10,000 years, its lush, sheltered harbour, nestled in the Great

Bear Rainorest, has been the ancestral home o the Tsimshian

First Nations, who created stately post-and-beam cedar houses,

magnifcent sea-going canoes, intricate jewelry and towering totem

poles. The classic art o these ancient Northwest Coast cultures,

amous around the world, is very much alive here today.

Bountiul salmon has long provided a rich source o ood and trade

or the indigenous peoples, and later or dozens o cannery villages

dotting the coast to harvest the rich salmon runs o the Skeena and

Nass rivers. The abundance o resh halibut made Prince Rupert

the “Halibut Capital o the World”. Fishing or salmon, halibut and

Dungeness crab continues to be a way o lie, and a mouth-watering

lure or visitors to indulge in incredibly resh, succulent seaood.

Cruise to the riendly port community o Prince Rupert and

experience our unique culture and history with us.

natural museums, displays the magnifcent architecture o a traditional

First Nations longhouse, and artiacts and jewelry dating back to the

last ice age. Interactive demonstrations include live perormances
