West Wales Maritime Heritage Society
We welcome you to Hancock's Boatyard at Pembroke Dock, West Wales, where dedicated volunteers preserve our maritime heritage for future generations to enjoy.
We are a charity run by supporters and volunteers who all share a love of the sea and its historic roots. Every boat we save tells a story.
We invite you to experience our classic boats being carefully restored and sailed, a museum rich with maritime artifacts & interactive displays, and a comprehensive library.
