J. H. LeBlanc Shipbuilding Co., Weymouth NS

Most recent update: February 4, 2012.

John LeBlanc started J. H. LeBlanc Shipbuilding Company at the beginning of WWII.  It was located (we think) at the end of Moody's Lane, on a site that had been a shipyard since 1786.  It continued after the war, under the name of Weymouth Industries, until destroyed by fire in 1958.  If you have any additions and/or corrections to the table below, please send your info to timcolton@aol.com
