Excerpt from Marine Engineering of Canada, 1913, Vol. 3: A Monthly Journal Dealing With the Progress and Development of Merchant and Naval Engineering, Shipbuilding, of Harbors and Docks, and Containing a Record of the Latest and Best Practice Throughout the Sea-Going World So far only one steel ocean-going ves sel has been built at the Canadian mari time province ports. This vessel was launched at New Glasgow in 1908. Since then there has been much discussion of proposals for shipyards at Sydney, Hali fax and St. John. At one time tonnage bounties were expected from the Govern ment, and later much was expected from the naval policy of the Laurier Govern ment; but 1912 ended without any pro gress having been made in the revival of shipbuilding in the maritime provinces. Towards the end of the year, however, work was begun on a new shipbuilding plant at Coquitlam, near Vancouver.
