Administrative history
The Canadian Dredging Company, Limited, was founded in Midland, Ontario, in 1907, and became a public company (Canadian Dredge and Dock Company, Limited, in 1928. The company had major contracts on the Welland Canal (1915-1930), the St. Lawrence Ship Channel (1930-1939), and the St. Lawrence Seaway (1955-1960). I t also had other large dredging and marine construction contracts from Port Arthur (Thunder Bay) to the Atlantic Coast
The shipbuilding and repair depot (with dry dock) was located in Kingston in 1931, and a considerable amount of repair and maintenance work was done on canal vessels. During the war years, in addition to the construction of derricks, gate vessels and tugs for the Department of Munitions and Supply, it also manufactured shells for the same Department.
At Kingston, the company built a number of large scows and derricks for its own use and carried out major reconstruction and maintenance work on its marine plant as well as repairs and maintenance for the Canadian Department of Transport and the Ontario Department of Highways.
The Kingston location of the Canadian Dredge and Dock Company, Limited was sold in 1972.
