Résumé
In 1825, when George Taylor and Allison Davie opened a shipyard in Lévis, little did they know they were laying the foundation for something that would span two centuries. Over time, hundreds of ships would be built there, each one tied to the local economy, Canada's defence, and pride of the region. From salvaging and repairing damaged vessels to building ships at the cutting edge of technology, Davie earned a reputation for excellence, and thanks to the skill of its workers, that reputation soon reached far beyond Canada's borders.Today, Davie stands as a defining presence in the Québec and Canadian industrial history, and a major partner in the National Shipbuilding Strategy. Its history is long and sometimes turbulent, but filled with remarkable achievements and innovation. It is a story worth telling and celebrating.Published to mark the company's 200th anniversary, this beautifully illustrated book shines a light on a national icon with a bright future.
