Historia
Established by Alfred Wallace in False Creek Vancouver in 1894 as a builder of small wooden fishing craft for the canneries. This enterprise subsequently moved to the north shore in 1905 and grew into the largest shipbuilding and repair company on the west coast. By 1985, the firm was a corporation which also owned the Yarrow’s Yard in Esquimalt. The corporation became Versatile Pacific Shipyards that year but this enterprise went bankrupt in 1992. A new firm, Vancouver Drydock, acquired the assets of the former Burrard Dry Dock Company that subsequently became part of the Seaspan Shipyards and are formally known as Vancouver Shipyards Company, Ltd.
