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. After the Second World War he re–established at the British Columbia Packers Cannery joined by his sons Kaoru Atagi, Hisao Atagi and Kenji Atagi.

Nauticapedia

Site News: November 20, 2024

The vessel database has been updated and is now holding 94,591 vessel histories (with 16,203 images and 13,900 records of ship wrecks and marine disasters).

Vessel records are currently being reviewed and updated with more than 40,000 processed so far this year.

The mariner and naval biography database has also been updated and now contains 58,599 entries (with 3996 images).

Thanks to contributor Mike Rydqvist McCammon for the hundreds of photos he has contributed to illustrate British Columbia’s floating heritage.

My very special thanks to our volunteer IT adviser, John Eyre, who (since 2021) has modernized, simplified and improved the update process for the databases into 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 continues (almost every day for the last couple of years) to proof read thousands of Nauticapedia vessel histories and provided input to improve more than 14,000 entries. His attention to detail has been a huge unexpected bonus in improving and updating the vessel detail content.
