Cowichan Bay Maritime Museum

The Cowichan Bay Maritime Centre & Cowichan Wooden Boat Society

The Cowichan Bay Maritime Centre is an active community-based maritime museum operated by the Cowichan Wooden Boat Society. The Cowichan Wooden Boat Society is a non-profit organization founded to preserve, exhibit and demonstrate maritime heritage, especially that of wooden boats.

The Society was originally conceived in the 1980s as a wooden boat-building workshop but has expanded its role to become a museum. In addition to the exhibits and museum, the Maritime Centre holds wooden boat-building courses for adults and children in its workshop.

The Society also operates a historic marine way for the hauling and cleaning of boats and maintains a small fleet of traditional small craft.
