Ever wonder about the day-to-day life at a shipyard? Britannia Shipyards is an authentic representation of a once thriving community of canneries, boat yards, residences and stores. You are invited to explore this eight-acre National Historic Site to discover how wooden boats were built and all the different people and skills involved. Stroll through the exhibits inside the buildings to hear the true stories of the multicultural workers who called Britannia home a century ago. The stories are fascinating, and the artifacts will make you feel like you've just stepped 100 years back in time.
