"Gate to the Northwest Passage" is a 1980 sculpture by Alan Chung Hung located adjacent to the Vancouver Maritime Museum in Vanier Park.

The work was installed in 1980 to commemorate the arrival of Captain George Vancouver in Burrard Inlet, following a competition sponsored by Parks Canada one year prior.

According to Chung Hung: "The objective of the sculpture is to create a symbolic image with definite visual expression, awakening an awareness in Captain George Vancouver's contribution to the world, his remarkable and meticulous surveys which included the north Pacific coast."
The Norris crab, which is located in the middle of a fountain in front of the HR MacMillan Space Center, is one of the most photographed works of art in British Columbia, a favourite of tourists and schoolchildren.

The crab rises from a pool, pincers raised overhead, a magnificent six-metre-tall sculpture rendered in stainless steel.

Location is fun at Granville island, although market and shops close no later than 6 and not much else going on. It results in a nice quiet sleep and great place to walk around. Rooms not large. Gym equipment needs to replaced.

The room was spotless and so were the bathrooms. They were courteous, motsly kept to themselves. Somehow I didn't see when I booked the room the rules of the house such as showers could only be taken between 8 am and 10pm. Thank you for everything.
