The first in a series of 4CTV shows covering the 3-themed Destination Heritage guides.
Puget Sound history is MARITIME history. Waterborne transportation was the primary mode of travel in Western Washington well into the 20th century. Forests of fir and cedar yielded the planks and timbers needed for canoes and ships of every size and purpose. Along the shores and waterways of King County, old lighthouses and wharves, bridges and locks, and a fleet of nationally significant heritage ships tell the story of a maritime past. Today, dedicated organizations continue to preserve the wooden boat legacy of Puget Sound.
4CTV is excited to debut the first program in a 3-part series of documentaries focusing on the Destination Heritage travel guides - Maritime, Agriculture and Industry. The first program showcases the maritime groups at South Lake Union, including the Center for Wooden Boats (CWB), NW Seaport and the Virginia V. In interviews, Executive Director, Betsy Davis and Dick Wagner, Founding Director, of the CWB relate the history of maritime in our region and the how organizations are working hard to keep that history alive and relevant.
