Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

After the first Wooden Boat Festival in 1978, the idea took hold to establish a foundation in order to educate people of all ages about traditional and contemporary life on the water. The center has a fleet of sailing, rowing and motor boats. There are also two longboats that are replicas of those used in 1792 by Captain Vancouver. Through summer camps, overnight trips and sailing lessons the Northwest Maritime Center hopes to engender a sense of adventure in would-be sailors. Those trained are encouraged to participate in national and international races and sailing trips.
