Center for Wooden Boats

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Center for Wooden Boats is a maritime heritage museum located on the south shore of Lake Union in Seattle, Washington, USA. It was founded in 1977 by Dick Wagner. A second campus is planned for Cama Beach State Park on Camano Island, to open in 2007.

Next door to the CWB is the Northwest Seaport, which endeavors to restore several bigger historic ships, including the schooner Wawona.
