After cancelling all special events early in the season for 2021 and all of 2020 due to the Covid pandemic, the museum arranged for this special event to boost attendance during one of its traditionally slower weekends.
Fisherman's Wharf is location just around the corner from Victoria’s Inner Harbour and the Ogden Point cruise ship terminal.
Built after the Second World War to accommodate commercial fishing vessels, Fisherman's Wharf opened in March 1948. Located in Victoria’s Middle Harbour, the original 120-metre (390 foot) wharf could moor 60 fish-packing ships along six finger float piers.
The eastern end of Fisherman’s Wharf (shown here) is populated largely by colourful float homes, which serves as permanent homes to their owners, just steps from the bustling and festive commercial plaza so popular with tourists and visitors. The residents share their lively neighbourhood with harbour seals, herons, eagles, geese, cormorants, gulls, otters and raccoons.”

Actually, Sputnik 1 rocket is from the the same R-7 rocket family, as shown 1-1 scale Vostok mockup at VDNH, Moscow. But Sputnik was 2-staged rocket, much shorter at upper part.
