Preserved wood products have a long, rich tradition of use in aquatic environments, including docks, piers, bridges and other port facilities.
Western Wood Preservers Institute is looking to celebrate the innovative uses of preservative-treated wood products in these projects with the 2020 Preserved Wood in Aquatic Uses Awards program. The top qualified entries will receive a wooden model of the Lady Washington (see below).

The Lady Washington is a 90-ton sloop, refitted as a brigantine and named in honor of Martha Washington. It was the first American-flagged vessel to round Cape Horn, the first recorded vessel to reach the Oregon coast and the first to reach ports in Honolulu, Hong Kong and Japan.
