T.W.L. Enterprises

Trinity NL

Most recent update: August 25, 2021.

Several members of the Vokey family have built ships in Newfoundland, the most prolific being Henry, who always built under his own name, and Wilson, who organized Trinity Shipbuilders and, later, T.W.L. Enterprises. This prolific yard closed in 2005 and the facilities on Fisher Cove have now been demolished.
