Our Longboats are being built in the Muir-Cox Shipyard at the south end of Dock Street in Shelburne. It is one of the oldest shipyards in Nova Scotia, having been in almost continuous operation from the 1820s (William Muir) until 1984 (William and George Cox). It turned out everything from stately square-rigged barques to internationally acclaimed yachts and workmanlike fishing boats. In these pictures you can see some of the tools used. Come visit in person and see a lot more!
