Vessels Built by the Mayer Steel Boat Ltd.
compiled by John M. MacFarlane 2013
They were located in Sidney BC and operated by Chuck Mayer. Ron David (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 25/05/2019) stated that "I believe that the shop was on Calvin Avenue in Sidney on the west side of the highway between MacDonald Park Rd and the Highway across from where Sandown Raceway use to be located." Eric J. Braden (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 26/05/2019) stated that "Chuck Mayer was in the building on Calvin street just off the Pat Bay highway. He also used the big shed at the old McKay-Cormack yard in Victoria for a time before moving to Sidney. That was around the time McKay-Cormack became Centre Shipyard (on Kingston Street)."

Vessel Images: Can you help us fill gaps in the vessel images in the database? If you have pictures of missing vessels that you have taken and would be willing to contribute to the database to make it more complete all our users would be very grateful. Please send them to admin(at)nauticapedia.ca
Note to Reader: Vessel names containing Roman numerals in parentheses (e.g. Floater (II)) indicates more than one vessel in the database with the same name. The numerals in parentheses are NOT part of the vessel name but are used to distinguish one vessel from another in the database.

Site News: April 17, 2024
The vessel database has been updated and is now holding 92,205 vessel histories (with 15,628 images and 13,173 records of ship wrecks and marine disasters). The mariner and naval biography database has also been updated and now contains 58,616 entries (with 4,013 images).
In 2023 the Nauticapedia celebrated the 50th Anniversary of it’s original inception in 1973 (initially it was on 3" x 5" file cards). It has developed, expanded, digitized and enlarged in those ensuing years to what it is now online. If it was printed out it would fill more than 300,000 pages!
My special thanks to our volunteer IT adviser, John Eyre, who (since 2021) has modernized, simplified and improved the update process for the databases into a semi–automated processes. His participation has been vital to keeping the Nauticapedia available to our netizens.
Also my special thanks to my volunteer content accuracy checker, John Spivey of Irvine CA USA, who has proofread thousands of Nauticapedia vessel histories and provided input to improve more than 11,000 entries. His attention to detail has been a huge unexpected bonus in improving and updating the vessel detail content.
