A decade ago, the BoatShop was founded after a true community grassroots effort saved the historic Eddon Boatyard from demolition. Since then, they’ve opened their doors to the public and engaged thousands of people with Gig Harbor’s working waterfront.
“The work we do is only possible because of you: our neighbors, friends, and community members,” says the BoatShop on its website. “It’s only fitting that you join us as we celebrate 10 years of providing public benefit and look forward toward the next 10 years.”
Eddon Boatyard in Gig Harbor is the birthplace of the Thunderbird Sailboat. Today, the BoatShop’s mission is to perpetuate working waterfront skills, uses and traditions by engaging in essential activities of a boatyard, such as boat building and repair, vessel restoration and community launching events. The BoatShop hosts working, hands-on activities such as the Family Boat Building program, Boat Livery Service and the Community Boat Restoration program.
