The Center for Wooden Boats will host an exhibition of electric-powered boats and other low impact electric technologies for recreational boaters at a special on the docks event Sunday September 23rd from 11am to 5pm. At the event, people will see boats large and small that are powered by electricity. Electric Boat Day @ the Center for Wooden Boats is being put on by CWB volunteers, and coincides with National Plug-In Day. National Plug-in day is a joint effort of Plug In America, the Sierra Club and the Electric Auto Association to draw attention to the environmental, economic and other benefits of plug-in electric vehicles.
Through its emphasis on maritime history, the Center for Wooden Boats already actively showcases electric-powered boats that were designed in the 19th and 20th centuries. We will use this link with the past as a springboard to advance new, low impact boating technologies to further serve our community and boating enthusiasts. During the electric boat event at CWB, public rides will be given on the museum's own clean and quiet running electrical powered boats.
About The Center for Wooden Boats
The Center for Wooden Boats, founded in 1976, provides a gathering place where maritime history comes alive through direct experience and our small craft heritage is enjoyed, preserved, and passed along to future generations. CWB, with locations on Lake Union in Seattle and at Cama Beach State Park on Camano Island, engages visitors in whole body learning by putting the historic boats, oars and paddles, sails and tools in the hands of people who visit.
