The Atagi Boat Works was established by Tsunematsu Atagi in Steveston BC in 1905. It was one of the largest in Steveston where he fished (for the Gulf of Georgia Cannery), and built boats in the off– season. He built Columbia River–style gillnetters. In 1912 he switched to building packers and seine boats for the Anderson Cannery at Quathiaski Cove. In 1941 he was building at the Scottish Canadian Cannery (Garry Point) when he was interned he was re–located to Celista BC for the duration of the Second World War.

Nauticapedia

Site News: April 25, 2024

The vessel database has been updated and is now holding 92,359 vessel histories (with 15,634 images and 13,293 records of ship wrecks and marine disasters). The mariner and naval biography database has also been updated and now contains 58,616 entries (with 4,013 images).

In 2023 the Nauticapedia celebrated the 50th Anniversary of it’s original inception in 1973 (initially it was on 3" x 5" file cards). It has developed, expanded, digitized and enlarged in those ensuing years to what it is now online. If it was printed out it would fill more than 300,000 pages!

My special thanks to our volunteer IT adviser, John Eyre, who (since 2021) has modernized, simplified and improved the update process for the databases into a semi–automated processes. His participation has been vital to keeping the Nauticapedia available to our netizens.

Also my special thanks to my volunteer content accuracy checker, John Spivey of Irvine CA USA, who has proofread thousands of Nauticapedia vessel histories and provided input to improve more than 11,000 entries. His attention to detail has been a huge unexpected bonus in improving and updating the vessel detail content.
