Walk down the pier and step back into history . . .

From a condemned fuel loading dock to a museum,the pier now houses "pods" rich in maritime history. It's all here in the quaint seaside village of Cowichan Bay, British Columbia.

With a reputation for excellence, the Maritime Centre offers hands on courses in traditional boat building techniques and restoration.  Skillfully hand-crafted models of historic ships are housed in the museum at the end of the pier. Activities are for any age, sea-farer or land-lubber alike. JOIN US in celebrating our history. . . become a member, volunteer or simply participate!
