William D. Lawrence Shipyard
The William D. Lawrence Shipyard built vessels from 1859 until 1903 in Maitland, Nova Scotia. It is most renowned for building the ''William D. Lawrence'' in 1874, reported to be the largest wooden ship ever built in Canada and one of the largest in the world at the time. The merchant, shipbuilder and politician William Dawson Lawrence established the yard and built six vessels in it. His brothers Lockhart Lawrence and Thomas Lawrence both built vessels in the Shipyard as well as grandson Captain William Lawrence.〔Scott, T. (eds) William D. Lawrence, Nova Scotia shipbuilder & Anti-Confederation Campaigner: The Complete Annotated Writings. Nova Scotia. Heroes of Hants Association. Lulu.com. p. 338〕 The output of the Lawrence yard was relatively modest compared to other ship yards of the Bay of Fundy but Lawrence achieved distinction when he decided to build the ''William D. Lawrence'' as a tribute to shipbuilding in the province.〔(Marven Moore, "William D. Lawrence", Nova Scotia Museum )〕
Lawrence himself built three ships prior to developing his own shipyard. He drafted plans for the ''Wanderer'' that was built at the Chappell Shipyard, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia (1849). He also built the ''St. Lawrence'' (1852) and ''Architect'' (1853) near his parents home on the Shubenacadie River at the Five Mile River Shipyard.
The Lawrence ship yard was built across the road from William D. Lawrence's house near the mouth of the Shubenacadie River. While it was the most famous shipyard in Maitland, it was just one of many yards in the village, flanked on the south side by the Archibald McCallum Shipyard and to the north by the Sidney Smith shipyard.〔("Maitland History", ''East Hants Municipality'' )〕 The site of the shipyard is today a partially eroded beach across the road from the Lawrence House Museum, the former residence of the shipbuilder.
