From a condemned fuel loading dock to a museum, the pier now houses "Galleries" 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.

We offer a variety of courses on boat building and repair. In 2012 we are planning on offering courses on splicing, knot tying, and general seamanship.
We also offer members of the Wooden Boat Society use of our Marine Ways. Our ways can haul a variety of hull styles, and members can do the work themselves, our bring in one of the C.B.MC.'s professionals to assist or do the work for them.
