Northwest Seaport

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Northwest Seaport Maritime Heritage Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of the maritime heritage of Puget Sound and the Northwest Coast, and to the development of maritime-based educational programs and opportunities for the broad community.

It exhibits and plans to restore several bigger historic ships, including the schooner Wawona, a sailing ship built to haul timber in 1897.

The Center is adjacent to the Center for Wooden Boats.
