Physical Improvements Plan
SHORT-TERM
Eddon Boatyard Building Improvements
Eddon Boatyard building improvements and upgrades necessary for short
and mid-term Gig Harbor BoatShop success are detailed in section 4.5 of
the Historic Structures Report Eddon Boat Yard, July 2006.
Gig Harbor BoatShop personnel will be on hand during the Eddon boatyard site
and building restoration project to ensure that final upgrades are historically
accurate and that restoration improvements function correctly for future GHB
operation. Guy Hoppen and designated Program Director/Yard Manager Steve
Helgeson have the institutional memory of Eddon Boatyard's historic look
and operation. GHB will, as closely as is practical, adhere to the historic
lay-out and the function of the boatyard during the Glein Boat Company and
Eddon Boat Company periods.
Restoration projects identified as priorities for short-term GHB programming are:
MID-TERM SITE and BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS
Marine Railways and Dock/Float
The Gig Harbor BoatShop anticipates that the complete list of restoration projects
contained in the Historic Structures Report will be completed or in progress
(depending on funding availability) by the close of the short-term period or early in the
mid-term period. Restoration of both marine railways and of the dock/float system, neither
of which are line itmes on page 95 of the HSR, are the primary mid-term period restoration
projects. Both are critically important to the Gig Harbor BoatShop's long-term success.
Accurate GHB interpretation of the Eddon Boatyard for the public and financial success of
Gig Harbor BoatShop programming, in the long-term, rely on the use of the marine railways and of
the dock/float system. GHB continues to confer with Anchor Environmental, KPFF Consulting
Engineers, and Bud Whitaker, engineering consultant for the City of Gig Harbor, to help
clarify the practical requirements for the future use of the marine railways and dock/float system.
