Favourite Boatworks

Located in the Pacific North West, Favourite Boatworks is a traditional wooden boatbuilding company specialized in wooden boat restoration, maintenance, interior design and construction. 

On this channel we're featuring restoration projects, boat tours and other nautically themed subjects.

We are currently restoring the historical fur trader North Star of Herschel Island.
The North Star of Herschel Island is the last surviving Inuvialuit arctic fur trading ship, built in 1935 primarily as a motor vessel to transport arctic fox pelts, she was later modified as a square rigged ship. From 1968 to 1973 she was used for scientific expeditions in the Arctic Sea, she was later used to survey the British Columbia - Alaska border and was at one point commissioned by Cambridge University to search for mermaids in the north. She is a ship full of history and we're proud to be able to restore her and document the process for the world to see.
