Graveyard of the Pacific: The Shipwrecks of Vancouver Island was the product of a unique relationship between Zero One, the Maritime Museum of British Columbia, the Vancouver Maritime Museum, the Underwater Archaeology Society of British Columbia and the Museum at Campbell River. Supported by CHIN, the Canadian Information Heritage Network, the intention of this project was to make the fascinating collections of some of Canada’s regional museums accessible to a wider audience. With suggestions from experts in maritime history and underwater archaeology, Zero One undertook the lengthy process of creating a database of shipwrecks around Vancouver Island. The design is brought to life with archival photographs, colourful graphics, an engaging game that encourages the participation and active viewing by younger audiences, entertaining interviews, and educational text that explains the causes, processes and even ways to avoid Vancouver Island shipwrecks.
