Industrial Shipping, Mahone Bay NS

Industrial Shipping Co., Ltd., was a manufacturer of small motor boats that stepped up to building TANAC tugs for the war effort.  After the war, it returned to the small boat market, becoming the Mahone Bay Plycraft Company and later PaceShip.  It closed in 1981.  The facility on Main Street, in Mahone Bay, is still there, but no longer builds boats: see it from the air on Google here.  If anyone can add to the table below, please email your info to info@navalmarinearchive.com. Note that this data covers boats that are over 32 feet long, because Industrial Shipping built hundreds, maybe thousands, of boats that were smaller than that.
