SS Victoria Park under Construction
SS Victoria Park under Construction

Shipyard workers in Pictou, Nova Scotia assemble the frames that will shape and support the hull of the SS Victoria Park.

Individually numbered for identification, the frames provide attachment points for the ship's hull plates like the one at centre, as well as for equipment, fittings, and structures inside the hull. Canadian shipyards on both the east and west coasts, as well as on the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes, built some 400 merchant ships for both Canadian and British service.
