Boat Restoration
Silver Ann The Silver Ann was the last boat built in the Richmond Boatworks before operations shut down in 1969. She is a 34 foot gillnetter and was built in 1968-69 by S. Asari for George Osaka.
The restoration of the Silver Ann began in 2005, with a group of trained shipwrights
and volunteers.The Silver Ann was officially launched on July 1, 2009. She is now tied up on the floats, and looking forward to a long life as Britannia's prized flagship!
Iona Restoration: October 2009 - April 2010
The Britannia Heritage Shipyard Society is
embarking on a restoration project of the Iona, a 38 foot wooden commercial fishing vessel known as a "collector boat". The Iona was originally built as a "doulbe-ender" in the 1930's and then modified by a previous owner. She was donated to the BHS Society in 1991 by Steveston's Koyanagi family.
If you are interested in climbing aboard as a restoration volunteer, please contact the BHS Society at 604-718-8038 or email britannia@richmond.ca.
