Index to Canadian shipbuilders and boatbuilders
This table lists about 125 Canadian shipbuilders and boatbuilders which have their construction records documented on a table in this data base, in alphabetical order. Click on a shipyard's name to go directly to its construction record. Former and alternative names are included where possible – some may have escaped our attention; in case of doubt, please use the "search" at the top of this page.
Note that the many small American shipyards which may not have their own tables are not included here, so please see small and/or occasional boatbuilders. Please send comments and additions to info@navalmarinearchive.com.
