Shipyard Engine Shop
In the early to mid-1900s, the Britannia Shipyard in Steveston, British Columbia, was a vital hub in the fishing industry, relying heavily on internal combustion engines to power fishing vessels. Within this maritime community, mechanics at Britannia played a central role in maintaining and repairing these engines, ensuring the boats were seaworthy. They conducted routine maintenance to prevent breakdowns at sea and performed emergency repairs under challenging conditions. Beyond this, mechanics often upgraded and modified engines to enhance performance, adapting to the demands of the industry. Their expertise was integral not only to the success of Britannia Shipyard but also to sustaining the local fishing community and providing fresh seafood to markets along the British Columbia coast.
