Show detail Hide detail

Richardson, Duck & Company : Richardson, Duck, and Company were shipbuilders in Stockton-on-Tees, England. In 1871-1872 they contracted with Canada's Department of Marine and Fisheries for the construction of two iron light ships, the Manicouagan, built 1872 and the Halifax, built 1873. The riveting in the latter ship proved defective, resulting in litigation between the firm and the Dominion Government.
