McKenzie Barge & Derrick, North Vancouver BC

McKenzie Barge & Derrick Co., Inc., was established in North Vancouver in 1922, as a base for its marine construction activities.  It's still going as a repair facility, known since about 1970 as McKenzie Barge & Marine Ways, but it has not built a new vessel since 1989.  The yard is located on Dollarton Highway: see it from the air on Google here.  Please email any additions or corrections to the table to info@navalmarinearchive.com.
