The Marystown area’s
tradition of shipbuilding is
a long one. This exhibit
traces this history from the
first settlers to the many
schooners built in the area,
to the businesses that built
and owned ships in the area;
to the ships that were built
for World War II at Marystown

Co-operative Enterprise, to
the wooden longliners built
at the Marystown Shipyard,
and finally, to steel
shipbuilding and repairs at
the current Marystown
Shipyard and Cow Head
facility.
