McKenzie Barge & Derrick Co., Ltd., North Vancouver BC

Most recent update: September 8, 2011.

McKenzie Barge & Derrick established its yard in North Vancouver in 1932, as a base for its marine construction activities.  It's still going as a repair facility, known since about 1970 as McKenzie Barge & Marine Ways, but it has not built a new vessel since 1989.  The yard is located on Dollarton Highway: see it from the air on Google here.  Except for the five wartime boats, the vessels in this table are sorted by Official Number.  There have been many name changes and the name given for a particular vessel may not always be its original name.  Please send any additions or corrections to the table to timcolton@aol.com
