From my search of the records; of shipbuilding in Prince Edward island as compiled by the late Preston Ellis of Porl Hill and novi in the archnes at Prince of Wales College, 1 will end-eator to givei a short history of this work asl carried out at Bedeque Bay and later at Summerside The first record of shipbuilding at Bedeque, is taken from the history of the Methodist church" at Bedeque, vrrltten some years ago by Mr. George Lcard, in it, he tells of a small ship of less; than 40 tons, iauiiv. in 1791 byi William Baker, as the record oft shipbuilding from 1797 to about. 1830 are incomplete it is quite possible that other ships may llaVE' been built between 1791 and 1800 I From what records that are available it is known that William Schuiman, who came to Bedaque in 1800 from S-helburne N.S., buill, a small ship of about 65 tons in 1302 and another of 107 tons in followmg year, records also show . that in 1803 Daniel Green and, William Baker earn built one registering about 70 tons. U C O In 1806 Schurman built one of 70 tons followed by mother of a- bout same size ui 1808, these ships as well as those built previously were used to move farm pro- ducts to Charlottetown and also to N.B., points. In 1814 Schm- man built a three masted ship registering 181 tons this seems to have been the largest built up to that time. About 1818 John and William Pope, sons of a prominent ship owner in Plyinouth Eng., came to the Island and settled at Bede- que, accompanying them were a number of experienced builders. and about 1820 started iihe build- ing of larger ships. In 1821 Pope built the Eliza- beth uf 251 tons regisiter, fol- lowed by another of 380 tons in 1823. In 1821 A. Campbell built one of 250 tons and in 1823 one of 237 tons. Thevlargest ship built at Bedeque. as far as the records show was the Delheli of 643 tons built by Hames Pope in 1840, it is quite possible that ships of this or perhaps larger were built , there, loaded with lumber and sent to England, where ship and cargo iwouid be sold and their ship re- gistered in that country , . . . S From 1791 to 1875, 96 ships are shown as having been built or lregistered at Bedeque, this work inlay have been carried on there lafter 1875 but if so the ships were iregistered at Summenside. 1823 .South Korean 'Finds Canadian icollege Tougher Vancouver ICP) Kun Pelt. 27-year-old South Korean Navy veteran, finds it much tougher studying at the University of Brit- ish Columbia than at Seoul Uni- versity. Kun recently arriived harm to study for his master's degree in political science. His entry "into Canada was sponsored by Bill. Boss, Canadian Press coi'req)on- dent now stationed in Moscow, and Reginald Boworing of Victoria. , "Two hours a day was oonsld-, ered hard study at Seoul Univer-I slty." said Kun who won a degree- in philosophy there before being" drafted into the Korean Navy.

Pro- bably the best known of the large: ones blllll. at Sumrnerside was the Charles E. Lelurgey built about 1875 by John Leiurgey. this ship was sailed for quite a num- ber of years by the late Capt Joe. Read, and was sold after his retirement to a firm in Norway. what eventually became of this ship I am unable to ascertain. From information I have re- ceived from an older resident of Summerside. there were some ten or eleven yards of various sizes in operation iron. about 1860 to 1885. Six of there, Mclvlillans, Yeo's Lefurgey's, Richard's, Ram- says and Green's were in west- ern part. of the waterfront from Queen's wharf, Holman's and Muirheads were soirrwvvhere be- tween Queens and Railway whar- veas, with Brazills and another which I cannot identify east of Railway wharf, somewhere near where Reads wharf was. Today nothing is to show where any of these yards were situated. Although Mr. Pope is shown as having built ships at Bummerside. I am unable to find any record of where his yard was located. it may have been possible he con- tinued to build at Bedeque, after he moved to summerside about 1875, or it is possible that Bra- zil or Ramsay was built for him This is a brief record of the industry that started Summer-side on its way to what some say is the richest town in Canada.
