| Note: The following return of the new vessels registered in the Province of New Brunswick, and their tonnage, in each year from 1850 to 1864, including vessels built for owners in the United Kingdom, and sent home under Certificate or Governor's Pass, shows the extent of the Shipbuilding industry of the Province. ALmost all these vessels were built at St. John. Since the establishment of a system of surveying by Lloy'ds surveyors, the quality of the ships built in New Brunswick has very much improved. | ||
