Shipyards




This is what remains of a much larger group of ship building and ship repair outfits located for years along this section of the North Arm of the Fraser River.

As far as I know these buildings are slated for demolition eventually. Some people live here and others have studios of one kind or another. I didn't find anyone to talk to and I ventured into to the property fully aware of 'private property' signs. 

So much of the history of British Columbia is connected with the river that it is absolutely inconceivable to me that these landmarks would be torn down so a few well heeled people can have a riverfront home.

The land is owned by the Musqueam First Nation and they have decided to develop it.
