MATSUMOTO SHIPYARDS

North Vancouver BC

Most recent update: July 17, 2021.
Sam Matsumoto built boats in Prince Rupert before World War II but was interned during the war years.  After the war he established Matsumoto Shipyards in the Dollarton section of North Vancouver and was a leader in aluminum boat construction.  The yard closed in 1989 but continues as part of Allied Shipyards.  If anyone can add to this table, please send your data to timcolton@aol.com.
