McKAY CORMACK

Victoria BC

Most recent update: July 17, 2021.
McKay Cormack was formed by H. Malcolm McKay and Alan Cormack, reactivating the facility previously operated by Falconer Marine Industries (1942-1949) and, before that, by Armstrong Brothers (1908-1942).  The shipyard was on Kingston Street, where the Coast Victoria Hotel and Marina is today.  If anyone can add to the table below, please send your info to me at timcolton@aol.com
