Lunenburg Wooden Boat Reunion
Where Wooden Boats Gather to Celebrate Maritime Heritage
The 2nd Annual Reunion, hosted by the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic, invites wooden boats of all sizes, types and varieties to our beautiful port of Lunenburg, NS. Stop by on Saturday to cheer on the competitors of the 6th Annual Heritage Cup race, and stay for Sunday's infamous "putt-putt" race where boats powered by vintage "make and break" engines fill the air with their distinctive sound. Enjoy a waterfront weekend, walking our wharf and checking out demonstrations and displays by boat builders and related trades folk. Then come inside, to learn the history and evolution of wooden boats, their uniqueness to this area and their utmost importance to our seafaring heritage.
