The Center for Wooden Boats

Description

Our mission is to work together to increase awareness and build passion for preservation of traditional maritime heritage skills and craft. We are a hands-on museum where historic wooden boats and traditional seamanship is kept alive through active use. Our programs are designed to get people using their hands: rowing, sailing, learning to tie knots, or telling sea stories. Our programs are meant to be fun, engaging, and accessible to all regardless or income or prior skill. We are a museum, a community center, a place of research and study, and an urban playground located right in the heart of Seattle.
