Our Mission is to restore and preserve the 1909 Motor Vessel Lotus to provide a gathering place where Pacific Northwest Maritime History comes alive, and the traditions and wisdom of traveling, living and playing on the water is experienced and passed along to future generations. We provide opportunities to experience the craftsmanship of the MV Lotus and time spent on the water through lodging, events on board, Sunday tea service, and tours. We are moored on Lake Union in Seattle on the Historic Ships Wharf and connected to the Center for Wooden Boats as a Partner in Programming.
