La « Davie », une gloire méconnue
|
| Abstract |
The history of the Davie Shipyard in Lévis, Quebec, which dates from 1825. When British sea captain Allison Davie (1796-1836) asked permission of Quebec City shipbuilder George Taylor (d. 1861) to marry his daughter, Elisabeth Johnson Taylor (1803-1873), George Taylor set a condition: Allison Davie must settle down and join him in founding a new shipyard. When Allison Davie accidently drowned in 1836, his wife took over the business, the first woman to head a shipbuilding firm in Canada. Around 1850 she handed the running of the company over to her eldest son, George Taylor Davie (1828-1907), who founded a new site in neighbouring Lauzon in 1887. The sons of G.T. Davie founded another neighboring yard in 1897. The Davie family sold the business to Canada Steamship Lines (CSL) in 1929.
