EAST ISLE SHIPYARD

Georgetown PEI

Most recent update: July 17, 2021.
East Isle Shipyard was started in 1965, when Bathurst Marine moved its operations to PEI from Bathurst NB.  It has had its ups and downs but, after 1991, with strong support from the provincial government and its parent company, Irving Shipbuilding, it developed a very strong position as a builder of tugs, with many export orders to its credit.  During the Canadian Frigate (1992-1994) and MCDV (1996-1998) programs, the shipyard built hull modules for the Saint John and Halifax shipyards.  Unfortunately, it hasn't built anything in recent years and has had to be demoted to the inactive category.  Visit the company here.  The yard is at 115 Water Street, in Georgetown Harbour: see it from the air on Google here.
