Re: Canadian Ship-Building
Here are some more of the Canadian Marine Engineering that I have found so far. There is an excellent article on the Ice-breaking car ferry Prince Edward Island in the 1916 edition. I have briefly looked at the 1920 and 1916 editions, and I would say that these are all valuable historic material. Nice to read them.

There is quite a bit of interesting books at archive.org if you search under either Shipbuilding or Naval Architecture, but it helps if you restrict your search to a specific year block. I have been using 1800 to 1950.

Re: Canadian Ship-Building
That sure brought back some nostalgic memories seeing all those
steam machinery ads , reminded me of my up and downer days
on the old Pointe Noire as 4th .
Nice articles make for good read , as in those days these types
of periodicals were all the rage , and a great way for serious sea- farers to stay abreast of the shipping industry here at the time .
Just too bad we don`t have a lot of that here now in Canada ,
monthlies like Canadian Shipping and Marine Engineering come to
mind . Just not enough interest here in Canada , unlike the USA
and it`s maritime magazine selections , like Marine Log , Marine News , OE and Maritime Reporter .

Re: Canadian Ship-Building
Yes, the links are interesting.
Don't forget the Boatnerd Links page has a section called "Online Books" that has links to some interesting reading as well.

Re: Canadian Ship-Building
Thank You for the research and post. With what seems like another "Old fashion Winter" on its way, it will be good reading while escaping the elements. Cheers.
Re: Canadian Ship-Building
I think I can speak for many when I say, "keep 'em coming!" Thanks for your postings Timerover51!
Re: Canadian Ship-Building
I for one would love to see more of the same. I found some of my relatives in the marine appointments.
Thanks very much

Re: Canadian Ship-Building
I found a couple more of the Marine Engineering online, the one for 1916, which was during World War One, and the one for 1920. There are quite a few ads in the latter for Canadian shipbuilding companies, and a big spread on Algoma Steel.
Is there any interest in posting the locations of these as well?

Canadian Ship-Building
For our Canadian compatriots, I found this online as a download. Marine Engineering of Canada for 1914, which can be found here. It looks to be an interesting read.

There is a nice general arrangement drawing of a proposed Canadian Ice Breaker for duty on the St. Lawrence on page 20 (page 34 by Acrobat Reader count).
