Canadian Shipbuilders and Boatbuilders
These tables would not have been possible without the assistance of Rollie Webb and Kevin Kopp: many thanks to each of them. Additional data comes from the Canadian Vessel Registry, various other U.S. and Canadian web sites and the Miramar Ship Index. Note the use of "closed" and "suspended" in the "Disposition" column of these pages: these terms simply mean that a vessel is no longer in the Canadian Registry: it may have been lost or scrapped and no longer exists, but it could have been laid up or transferred to another flag. Most of these tables have gaps in them. If anyone can fill a gap, please e-mail the info to me at TimColton@aol.com
