Spaulding Marine Center

The center was built in 1951 by San Francisco Bay Area legend, Myron Spaulding. Myron purchased the property and started Spaulding Boatworks where he built his own designs and helped to maintain many other private boats in the bay. Many of his boats are still active on the West Coast, and his design drawings are housed at the National Historic Maritime Museum.

Spaulding Marine Center continues today to benefit the community and offer both youth and adult educational programs.
