Spaulding Wooden Boat Center
The Spaulding Wooden Boat Center (SWBC), in Sausalito, California, is a living museum where one can go back in time to experience the days when craftsmen and sailors used traditional skills to build, sail or row classic wooden boats on San Francisco Bay.
The center offers tours, classes and special events, as well as sails on the center's fleet of wooden boats. The center is staffed by master craftsmen, history experts, longtime sailors and volunteers committed to preserving and sharing the Center's maritime heritage.
The SWBC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and tax-exempt California public benefit corporation.
