Fisherman's Wharf — A Colourful Escape to Victoria
Welcome to Fisherman's Wharf, a vibrant little corner of Victoria, British Columbia, where colourful floating homes line the waterfront, boats gently bob in the harbour, and every turn reveals something delightful.
Brought to life through the artwork of Canadian artist Dale Hitchcox, this charming scene captures the playful spirit of one of Vancouver Island's most beloved destinations. From brightly painted houses and flower-filled balconies to curious seals swimming in the harbour, every detail invites you to slow down and explore.
But there's another story waiting on the other side!
A Harbour Full of Hidden Stories
Turn the puzzle over and discover an entirely different world, beautifully engraved into the wood.
At the heart of the design stands a magnificent nautical anchor, surrounded by scenes of bustling harbour life. Fishermen proudly carry their fresh catches, seagulls soar overhead, playful seals rest by the shore, and charming floating houses complete the coastal setting.
Look a little closer, and you'll find even more surprises: a friendly cat, sailing boats, musicians, dancers, and dozens of intricately illustrated details that bring this seaside community to life.
Scattered throughout the puzzle are specially shaped wooden pieces, each telling its own little story. From fishermen and seabirds to seals, boats, and other nautical treasures, these delightful whimsies make the journey just as memorable as the finished picture.
Two sides, two beautiful experiences, and countless little discoveries.

Let customers speak for us
Exquisite puzzle. The craftsmanship is impeccable.
Alice in Wonderland Collectors Edition is a stunning puzzle. The mystery of the different scenes are very unique and capture beautifully the essence of Alice and her escapades. While the puzzle itself was packaged in their magnetized box, I was disappointed to see that the pieces themselves were just wrapped in green tissue paper rather than in Palmaris’s signature black logo drawstring bag. Being a higher priced item and Collectors Edition, I would have thought it would have been showcased to a higher degree.
Excellent puzzle. Design, quality, included information about the lighthouses in Canada. Will be back to order more.
Excellent puzzle. It took me at least 50% more time to complete over other wooden puzzles of similar size. I have not done the reverse side yet.
How come every new release from Palmaris seems to be the best one yet?
Do they really just keep getting better, or is it just the excitement I have as each new release finally arrives at my doorstep 😁👍!!
A Lighthouse Between Worlds puts you in a realm of fantasy as you figure out how these wonderful pieces fit together🧩!!
And just wait till you see the image on the back when you're finished, A Whimsie Wonderland that will leave you breathless !!
How can the next new release possibly get better than this....😁🧩❤️!!
I absolutely love my Palmaris custom puzzle. My husband built a frame for it, and it will have a place of honor in our home. Thanks again, Oleg!
I loved this puzzle, challenging and fun! Great quality.
The puzzle was delightful and relaxing. Not too easy and not too hard.
So much fun with all the crazy shaped pieces. Some of the side pieces that were very narrow were hard to get them to "drop" in place. My next puzzle is already on its way!
Loved this puzzle. The pieces are very intricate but fit together beautifully. Unlike most puzzles, this is one I’ll do again and again.
Absolutely gorgeous puzzle! I love everything about it.
Beautiful, high quality puzzle, one of my favorite brands
Beautiful puzzle, great colors, complex and challenging shape pieces. It’s very absorbing when you’re in the middle of it and satisfying to finish!
Really fun to do. The back side was even more challenging.
Beautiful pieces, cleverly cut and just the right difficulty level.
