More Faster Backwards - November 16
 In the spring of 1998 Captain Jeffrey and Christine Smith found and fell in love with the M/V David B, and old wooden boat built in 1929. It was just the boat they were looking for to restore to offer small ship adventure cruises. What was originally supposed to be a two-year restoration project, took over eight years of blood, sweat, and uncertainty to make their dream lifestyle come true. More Faster Backwards: Rebuilding David B is the story of their struggle to revive a dying boat and the excitement of running a tour boat in the wilds of Alaska.

Celebrate the Season at Holiday Lights!
Spend the afternoon at Lake Union Park making holiday crafts, building toy boats, decorating cookies, sipping hot cocoa, listening to maritime music, and more. Stay in the evening for a live holiday performance from vintage jazz band Miss Rose & Her Rhythm Percolators, presented by MOHAI on board the historic Virginia V steamship, followed by a viewing of the Dickens Carolers, performing on board the Argosy Christmas Ship in Lake Union.
Holiday Lights at Lake Union Park is co-presented by MOHAI, The Center for Wooden Boats, Northwest Seaport, Maritime Folknet, Discovery Modelers Education Center, Argosy Cruises, M/V Lotus, and the Steamship Virginia V. Learn More >>

Your Gift Makes A Difference
 The push of a wooden boat hull in a pond, the grip of a child's tiny fingers on a hammer, and the thrill in a new sailors' eyes as a boat heels over are small but significant moments. They are the pivotal points in which a child might become fascinated with woodworking, or a new sailor might realize that they have the ability to control a boat on their own.
 These are the experiences that change lives and redirect futures. Your tax-deductible gift, of even $25, made before December 31st, directly affects the number of young people who learn to sail, the number of historic boats we can maintain and the level of the coffee in our (free) coffee pot in the year ahead. Your gift makes a difference, no matter the size!
