This tour is great! Not rushed or “canned” like some tours I went on. The tour guide, Victoria, is exceptionally knowledgable and passionate about the community and its preservation. Time flew by, as Victoria regaled us with the stories of the different wooden boats. The tour is accessible and would be great for all ages and all abilities. I can’t recommend it enough!
