North Van Ship Repair

North Van Ship Repair, later known as Pacific Dry Dock was a shipyard in North Vancouver, British Columbia which built many of the Bangor class minesweepers and Victory ships for Britain and Canada during World War II. Located just west of Lonsdale Avenue adjoining the Burrard Dry Dock, it was eventually absorbed into Burrard. The site was pulled down in the early 1980s and became the Lonsdale Quay and the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) "building".
