Port Nelson was a dredger that served from 1914 to 1924 in Manitoba, Canada. HistoryIn 1913 Canada's Department of Railways and Canals commissioned the Polson Ironworks, in Toronto, Ontario to build a large suction dredger to help construct what was to be the first port on North America's Arctic Ocean coast -- to be named the Port Nelson.[1] She was completed in March, 1914, and towed to Hudson's Bay, arriving in September 1914, where she promptly ran aground.[2] A 1924 storm tossed her onto the artificial island she helped create, where her wreck remains today. She carried a crew of 35, and was {{convert|180|feet|m}} long, had beam of {{convert|43|feet|m}}, a draft of {{convert|6|feet|m}}, and displaced 1200 tonnes.[2] See also
