History
Originally the Esquimalt Marine Railway Company, the British Columbia Marine Railway Company was a ship repairing and ship building enterprise established in Lang Cove at the eastern end of Esquimalt harbour by W.F. Bullen in 1893 and sold to Sir Alfred Yarrow in 1914. The B.C. Marine Railway Company (popularly known as Bullen’s Yard) built four wooden passenger vessels and a tugboat for the Canadian Pacific Railway British Columbia Coast Steamship Service.
