Henry W. Embree and Sons, Boatbuilders, was a boat yard in Port Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia, that operated from 1859 to 1948.
At times, Embree Shipbuilding employed as many as thirty men and was responsible for building at least five schooners, six brignantines, and one barque.
[3] In 1883, H. W. Embree and Sons were responsible for sending a fishing banker, or "Canso boat," to the International Fisheries Exhibition in London, where it won the first medal out of 7500 competitors.
Displayed at full mast with a wax mannequin for a captain, the boat was purchased and used by the Prince of Wales, who would become Edward VII.
Plans for the same boat were later purchased by the United States Fish Commission, as well as representatives from the Netherlands and Sweden.
