Wagstaff and Hatfield of Port Greville, N. S. built 24 of the 25 wooden deep sea trawlers that were built for P.E.I., 1950 to 1961.

Asterisks beside the Wagstaff and Hatfield number indicate that their records do not show the Eldredge-McInnis design number. Some of the shipyard records also show the owners for whom the boats were built. Registration numbers have been added by me from Canada shipping registration records.
