Percy Vos Boat Shed

Percy Vos Boat Shed

Percy Vos Boat Yard, located on the western edge of Wynyard Quarter, was officially opened by its eponymous founder in 1922. Today, this remarkable, yet unassuming landmark is managed by the New Zealand Maritime Museum and continues to serve as a work space for wooden boat building.
