Burrard Dry Dock, Historic shipyard in North Vancouver, Canada.
The industrial complex spans across the waterfront on the north side of Burrard Inlet, east of Lonsdale Avenue, featuring two piers and historic cranes.
Founded in 1894 by Alfred Wallace as a small boat-building operation, the facility expanded into one of Canada's largest shipyards by the 1950s.
The shipyard employed 14,000 workers during World War II, marking a significant period when women entered industrial roles in Canadian maritime manufacturing.
The site maintains five industrial buildings, two historic cranes, concrete storage facilities, and multiple work yards accessible for guided historical tours.
The shipyard constructed the St. Roch vessel in 1928, which became the first ship to navigate the Northwest Passage in both directions.
