EMERGENCY BOATBUILDERS OF WWII

Most recent update: July 21, 2021.
In World War I, the emergency shipbuilding effort in Canada had concentrated on meeting the need for cargo ships: boatbuilders were in much less demand.  When World War II came, there was no shortage of large yards that could build cargo ships but the need for large numbers of small craft resulted in the need not only to mobilize active boatbuilders but also to encourage the development of many additional boatbuilding yards.  This table provides the construction records of the 34 most significant boatbuilders, those that built tugs, minesweepers, torpedo boats, Fairmiles, crash boats and a variety of harbour craft.  Most of these tables are limited to wartime production: an ongoing challenge is to add details of their peacetime production.  Finally, please note that there were maybe 70 more companies that built small craft for the war effort, but these were often manufacturing operations rather than boatyards and are beyond the scope of this website.

Canadian Bridge Co., Windsor ON
Canadian Bridge Company goes back to the beginning of the 20th century and was what it sounds like, a heavy steel fabricator,  It apparently only built boats during WWII, later becoming part of Dominion Steel & Coal Corp., (DOSCO), which has been gone for some time.  The company's address is always given as Hiram Walker's Walkerville, now part of Windsor ON, but it seems that the shipyard itself was to the west, between Sandwich and Ojibway, which are also now part of Windsor.  See what I think is the site from the air on Google here.  If anyone has any additions and/or corrections to the table below, please send your info to timcolton@aol.com

Canadian Power Boat Co., Ltd., Montreal QC
Canadian Power Boat Company was set up by Hubert Scott-Paine's British Power Boat Company at the start of WWII, to build their Scott-Paine-designed boats for the Canadian Navy: it closed and was sold in 1947.  The yard was on the Lachine Canal, at 4000 Rue St. Patrick, on the site of the old Fraser, Brace shipyard: the main building is still there.  See it from the air on Google here.  If you can make any additions or corrections to the table below, please send your info to timcolton@aol.com

Central Bridge Co., Ltd., Trenton ON
Central Bridge Co. was a heavy steel fabricator that turned its hand to boats for the war effort.  It was sold to Toronto Iron Works in 1950 and has been closed for some time.  Can anyone tell me who started it and when; when did it close and why.  One source puts it at 300 West Street, where Crawford Metals is today: this site is not right on the river, but it's not far off. Can anyone confirm this location?  And if you can make any additions and/or corrections to the table below, please send your info to timcolton@aol.com
