While reading the CarlzBoats Blog, I noticed that a lot of the ships built for the St. Lawrence Seaway trade where built in this shipyard.

Unfortunately, when reading about more modern ships built for the St. Lawrence Seaway trade, they were built overseas. The most modern ones were built in China and used the Panama Canal to get to the St. Lawrence River. The satellite image confirmed that this shipyard is now closed.
When I asked when it closed in a Facebook posting, I got the answers:
Carl Burkett Dennis DeBruler Collingwood was closed in 1986 and the last ship they built was the 736’ gearless bulk carrier PATERSON which after being bought by CSL, became known as PINEGLEN. Her story:

Sal Greco Carl Burkett the last ship was the ice breaker Sir John A McDonald. [This boat may have also been named Sir Wilfrid Laurier.]
