History
Shipyard established with provincial government assistance on the Victoria Inner Harbour in 1916 by James D. and D.O. Cameron to build wooden lumber schooners as a subsidy of their Cameron Lumber Company. The lumber schooners were not a commercial success but in 1918 the yard received orders to build from the Imperial Munitions Board to four 2,800 ton wooden steamers for the war effort.
