The John C. Crosbie Sealers Interpretation Centre, located in Newfoundland and Labrador, stands as the first and only facility of its kind in the world. This unique center pays homage to the rich and poignant history of sealers through its impressive Museum and Art Gallery, coupled with a moving seaside Memorial Statue and Monument.

The museum uses a blend of art, artifacts, and multimedia to effectively tell the stories of the sealers, offering visitors a vivid window into their lives and the harrowing experiences they faced. The exhibits focus particularly on the historic significance of sealing and the devastating events of the 1914 disasters, presenting these narratives with respect and depth. The center not only educates about the past but also emphasizes the profound impact these events had on the communities of Newfoundland and Labrador.
