Classic workboats from the Puget Sound region gathered today at the Historic Ships Wharf in Seattle’s Lake Union Park for a show alongside the historic ships permanently berthed at the site. Visitors also got the first public views of the ongoing restoration work aboard Lightship No. 83, also called Swiftsure. The retired NOAA research ship John N. Cobb was also open to the public. The show was organized by Northwest Seaport and supported by Seattle-area maritime businesses and 4Culture, King County’s arts and heritage agency.
