Canada: An example of a builder's plate by Collingwood Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. Collingwood Shipyards (1902) now at Collingwood, Ont, was the first Canadian steel shipbuilding yard on the upper lakes. It and Canadian Vickers Ltd at Montréal, after building icebreakers and submarine sections, now concentrate on repair work. The shipyard at Port Arthur [Thunder Bay] was built in 1912, and next year produced the passenger steamer NORONIC. An item from the collection of Mr Andrew Merrilees acquired between the 1950’s and his death in 1979. Mr. Merrilees was a noted collector of early railway and transportation material and was particularly interested in pre-1920 photography. The majority of Mr.Merrilees’ collection was sent to the National Archives circa 1980, his printed material to the National Library and the Ontario Archives. The material in this donation was retained by Andrew Merrilees Ltd., currently owned by Dr. Robert Stewart (Acquisition proposal for AK0114 archival material by D.Monaghan, in Supp. Info.).
Function: An identification plate that provides a builder's reference for a engine including the name of the builder, the builder's number for that engine and the date it was built.
