The Center for Wooden Boats promotes northwest maritime heritage through education, interpretation and hands-on experience in building, maintaining and using historic small craft.
The Center for Wooden Boats is a hands-on maritime museum where every visitor has opportunities to engage in heritage experiences. CWB is a laboratory of learning using hands and minds. Come as you are, and you will leave with calluses on your hands, shavings in your hair, maritime skills in your brain, and pride of what you have achieved.
