Be the B’y that Builds the Boat

We love being so close to the Wooden Boat Museum of Newfoundland and Labrador, a museum that archives, conserves and exhibits the traditional wooden boat of the province and its importance to our way of life. Open from June to September, visit this unique museum to explore its beautiful exhibits, or take one of their regular hands-on workshops to learn how to build a wooden boat yourself. Their motto is “Look Aft and Learn.” When seafarers tell you to ‘look aft,’ they mean to look behind you; indeed, visit this museum and you’ll come away with a new appreciate for the life and culture of the early days of this island.
