Sustainable Timber Tasmania jumps on board to support the restoration of Hobart’s beloved wooden boat
Known affectionately as the “Little Blue Boat,” Sea Breeze was ripped from her moorings earlier this year during powerful storms in southern Tasmania.
After the storm damage, concerns from the community led the Wooden Boat Centre in Franklin to step in. Under the expert guidance of head shipwright Cody Horgan, has now embarked on the meticulous restoration process to secure the boat’s future.
