Former workboats from the BC Forest Service will rendezvous at the Britannia Shipyards NHS docks in Steveston on Aug 2 & 3.

Join us at the docks of Britannia Shipyards National Historic Site as we host members of BC’s ex-Forest Service Vessel Squadron for the their annual boat rendezvous, held over the August long weekend in Steveston. Open Saturday and Sunday from 12pm to 4pm.

The docks behind the Seine Net Loft will be open from 12 to 4pm to get up close to the former BC Forest Service Vessels and their captains. The Richmond Boat Builders workshop will have fascinating demos and activities featuring the boat building tools and techniques, past and present.

For a unique tour of the Fraser River estuary on a former west coast forestry workboat, check out the Voyage of the Gikumi, a tour-hour river boat tour offered on August 2, 3, 16 & 17.
