The Collingwood Shipyards in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada, were a significant part of the town’s history and economic development. Here are some key facts about the shipyard’s history:

Origins: The shipyard was founded in 1882 by a group of local businessmen, who saw an opportunity to capitalize on the town’s location on Georgian Bay and the increasing demand for shipbuilding.

Early Success: In its early years, the shipyard built a number of wooden steamers, including the Asia, which was the largest ship built in Canada at the time. The shipyard also built vessels for the Canadian Navy and the Canadian Coast Guard.

War Effort: During World War II, the shipyard was a major contributor to the war effort, building a variety of naval vessels for the Canadian and British navies. The shipyard also built cargo vessels for the Merchant Navy.

Technological Advancements: The Collingwood Shipyards were known for their innovation and technological advancements. The shipyard was the first in Canada to use electric welding and was a pioneer in the use of diesel engines in ships.

Decline and Closure: In the 1980s, the shipbuilding industry in Canada began to decline, and the Collingwood Shipyards were no exception. In 1986, the shipyard closed its doors for the final time, marking the end of an era in Collingwood’s history.

Today, the Collingwood Shipyards are remembered and celebrated through a variety of initiatives, including the Collingwood Marine and Station Museum, which features exhibits and artifacts related to the town’s maritime heritage, and the HMCS Haida National Historic Site, which is a museum ship that was built at the Collingwood Shipyards in 1943. The shipyard’s legacy lives on as an important part of Collingwood’s history and cultural heritage.

There is currently a proposal in place for the iconic grain terminals. A projected condominium development is being explored as a possibility. The condominium build is to incorporate the the existing terminals into it’s design. The years of history that we face losing , our ancestors stories deep-seated into those concrete terminals, their untouched beauty are part of Collingwood’s charm.

With all of the sadness, the unavoidable truth is that times change. The terminals are dated and their preservation costs money. What to do with the terminals has been up for question for quite sometime. It is with a big sigh I resign myself to the fact that one of the most special spaces we are still able to cherish today, will possibly be changed forever in the near future. Some call it progress and or revitalization. Others, wish it would remain the same consistent preserved historical waterfront.

I teeter on the fence in question, humming an old tune to myself – Joni Mitchell. Big Yellow Taxi.
