Ebenezer Moseley (February 14, 1813 – June 18, 1903[1]) was a Boston-born ship builder in 19th century Nova Scotia.
In 1853, the Richmond shipyard was sold to the provincial government and Eben and Henry decided to sail to Australia.
After leaving Halifax, bad weather forced them to land near the LaHave river, and the quality of trees there convinced the Moseley's to abandon their trip to Australia and open a shipyard on the spot.
The yard operated until Henry's death in 1864, whereupon Eben and his family returned to Halifax and settled in Dartmouth.
He submitted designs to the Paris Exhibition of 1867 and the Columbian Exposition of 1893, winning a prize for his submissions to the latter.
