Mystic Seaport Wooden Boat Show (2022)

Heritage Boatyard Co-op promotes Nova Scotia’s wooden boat builders and wooden boat activities at the

annual Mystic Seaport Wooden Boat Show.

Attired with Nova Scotian tartan kilts we enjoyed a fabulous week with our neighbours to the south.

We produced a 40 page handout introducing our local wooden boat builders.
