The Pictou Shipyard is a Canadian shipbuilding site located in Pictou County, Nova Scotia, and made famous by its use as an emergency shipbuilding facility in World War II, during which it constructed twenty-four 4,700-ton Scandinavian class freighters. It was founded at its current location in 1856, as the Pictou Iron Foundry, by William Henry Davies. Through many business booms and busts, as well as several changes of ownership, it has continued to operate until today, when it is owned by Aeco
