For the past 25 years, the Wooden Boat Centre Tasmania has been producing a range of beautiful timber boats, crafted by hand on the banks of the Huon River. Franklin’s proud shipbuilding and maritime heritage remains alive and well. The Centre welcomes locals and visitors, individuals and groups, to join one of their many short courses to experience the satisfaction, achievement and camaraderie of hand building wooden boats. 20 to 30 minute guided tours to explore the age old craft of wooden boat building are also available. The Workshop is open weekdays and from 10am to 2pm Sunday.
