I served my apprenticeship as a Plater/Shipwright in Scott's Shipyard on the west coast of Scotland from 1968 to 1972. I came to Canada on contract with Canron in 1974. When my contract was concluded, I worked in various shipyards in the Lower Mainland; Belaire Shipyard in North Vancouver, Allied, B.C. Marine, Manlys, West Coast Salvage, Burrard's and Key Marine. In 1988, I worked in the Maintenance Department of Terminal City Iron Works until its final closure in 1999. I then joined Meridian Marine as Foreman responsible for the Steelworks, New Construction and Repair side of the business.
