A. F. Theriault & Son, Meteghan River NS

Most recent update: January 22, 2011.

A. F. Theriault & Son was formed in 1938 and has always concentrated on fishing vessels, although it now also builds other types.  Visit the company at www.aftheriault.com.  The yard is located on the southwest coast of Nova Scotia: see it from the air on Google here.  The table below lists about half the yard's total output: if anyone can add to it, please send your data to me at TimColton@aol.com
