Description

On the south side of the fishing village of Steveston, this historic site dates to 1885. Restoration is ongoing, but visitors are encouraged to wander through what was once a community that centered on a shipyard and cannery. Interpretive boards describe the process of building wooden boats as well as life in the surrounding village. Wooden boats in varying states of disrepair add to the authenticity.
