Life on the Water
Rooted in History…
More than just a pretty name and a beautiful location, The Sophie pays tribute to the historic fishing vessel Sophie Christenson and its influential role in the Poulsbo area’s history. Cod fishing in particular was key to sustaining the early community economically as well as nutritionally, and despite the changes seen around the Puget Sound over time, this era and its key players, including boats, helped to build the foundation for so much of Poulsbo history and culture today.
Built in 1901 in Port Blakely, Washington, the Sophie Christenson was a large, four-masted schooner known for her picturesque, billowing sails and was the queen of the fleet. After setting records for the largest codfish haul in American history, the vessel is remembered as one of the last of her kind when the fishing industry moved from wind power to diesel fuel.
The Sophie stands adjacent to the Poulsbo Maritime Museum where you can, if you are lucky, meet some of the descendants of the Shields family – owners of the Pacific Coast Cod Company, which built and operated the Sophie Christenson.
Cod Fishing Legacy
Cod fishing expanded to the Pacific as more settlers began to populate the west coast of America.
Economy Boost
Ships like the Sophie Christenson brought new wealth to Liberty Bay in the early twentieth century.
Wind In the sails
Decades later, diesel engines changed the fishing industry, making The Sophie Christenson one of the last vessels to operate by sail.
Adjacent to History
The Poulsbo Maritime Museum, located next to The Sophie, houses generations of knowledge and artifacts from this era.
