e/Royal Naval Dockyard, Halifax

Information
has gloss	eng: Royal Naval Dockyard, Halifax was a British Royal Navy base in Halifax, Nova Scotia from 1759 to 1905. The Halifax Yard was the main year round base of the Royal Navys North American Station when first established in 1759 during the Seven Years War. Facilities for refitting ships were added by 1758. A graving-dock, coaling facilities and torpedo boat slip were added between 1881 and 1897. In 1818 Halifax became the summer base for the squadron which shifted to the Royal Naval Dockyard, Bermuda for the remainder of the year. The Halifax yard did not have a dry dock until 1887 so it was officially known as the "Halifax Naval Yard" when first established, although it was popularly known as the Halifax Dockyard. The station closed in 1905 and sold to Canada in 1907 becoming Her Majestys Canadian Dockyard, a function it still serves today as part of CFB Halifax.
