Yarrows, Esquimalt BC

Yarrows' yard was originally established in the 1890s as the Esquimalt Marine Railway Co., later renamed the B.C. Marine Railway Co.  It was acquired by Yarrows, the well known British shipbuilders, in 1913, for $300,000.  The Yarrow family sold it to Burrard Dry Dock after World War II, but it did not become formally amalgamated with Burrard until 1979, when the company was renamed Burrard Yarrows Corporation.  Burrard Yarrows was bought by Versatile Corporation in 1979 and the Esquimalt yard became Versatile Pacific Victoria.  The yard closed in 1987 and is now part of CFB Esquimalt.  See it from the air on Google maps here.
