Captain(N) William Hargen Wilson was the driving force behind the creation of the Naval Museum of Alberta and, in 2008, brokered its co-location with seven other museums to form The Military Museums of Calgary. Known affectionately as Captain Bill, he has worked tirelessly to amass an impressive collection of artifacts and to share his knowledge of Canadian naval history with younger generations.
