See the historic MV Burnaby tugboat, now beautifully restored and on display inside the shipyard building. Learn about the boat cradle restoration project during Doors Open, this weekend on June 3rd and 4th from 11:00am to 3:00pm. Have a rare chance to go behind-the-scenes and talk with the team that helped make this project happen. Come have a closer look at archival images and original pieces of this shipyard.
