Join us for the grand opening of Harbor History Museum’s Maritime Gallery! Celebrate 100 years of the Shenandoah; our 65’ purse seiner fishing vessel, and the completion of its remarkable restoration. See Thunderbird #1, the inspiration for an international fleet and racing class, and numerous small craft that represent Gig Harbor’s boat building heritage. Enjoy local food vendors, lively maritime music, insider history scoop talks, blacksmith demonstration, ribbon cutting ceremony, boat tours, and fun activities for all ages. Don’t miss this exciting day of community and celebration as we honor Gig Harbor’s maritime heritage together. Admission is free.
