Saint John Shipbuilding

Saint John Dry Dock & Shipbuilding Co. was established in 1923, concurrently with the construction of an 1150-foot graving dock. It was acquired by Irving interests in 1959 and renamed Saint John Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co., Ltd. The shipyard closed in 2003 and has been stripped. See it from the air on Google here.
