George Black (shipbuilder)
- George Black (shipbuilder)
George Black, (c. 1778 – 19 May 1854), was an important shipbuilder in Quebec during the earlier part of the 19th century.
Black, from about 1819 to 1846, operated a successful shipyard at Cape Cove and was the most important shipbuilder in the port of Quebec at that time. The location was subsequently leased by his nephew, William Henry Baldwin and his partner, Henry Dinning who continued, together and separately, to build first class ships out of the Port of Quebec.
Black also served on the city's council, representing Saint-Laurent ward and later Champlain ward, and also served as justice of the peace.
