kitco treats the assets backing the kitco pool as assets belonging to customers . if they
- - slightly over 10 % of the reported size of the kitco rhodium pool . heraeus claims that kitco opened the account in october , 2008 under the name
kitco metals inc .
, that kitco never said that the metal was for its customers , and that kitco agreed to have this metal used as collateral for money kitco owed heraeus . heraeus also stated that when kitco sold metal , the proceeds went to kitco , not a segregated customer account .
at this point , the kitco pool appears to be much safer than i believed when i started investigating the kitco pool .
i believe that no prudent investor can have money in the kitco pool , cas ( canadian allocated storage a / k / a kitco allocated storage ) , or cash deposited with kitco given the current information kitco provides . this page is dedicated to getting kitco to publish the information a prudent investor needs to know .
i am extending this page to cover cas ( canadian allocated storage , now called kitco allocated storage ) , and cash deposits with kitco .
because of that , i see no reason that kitco could not change the safety level of these other products . the safety descriptions of cas and cash deposits use words such as
segregated
that kitco used seemingly inappropriately with the kitco pool . unless kitco comments , a prudent investor needs to assume that since kitco changed the safety level of the kitco pool , they could do the same with cas or cash deposits .
kitco offers unallocated precious metals accounts , called
kitco pool .
normally , unallocated precious metals account are like
iou
s and backed by the
general stock
of the dealer . in the event of bankruptcy a pool holder would become an unsecured creditor of the company . kitco addressed these concerns by stating that the kitco pool is 100 % backed by physical precious metals , segregated from kitco ' s own assets and belonging entirely to kitco pool customers .
that said , there are still some big holes with the kitco pool ( e . g . it is now at least partially backed by other pools , is likely partially backed by kitco inventory , kitco is in insolvency proceedings , no serial numbers , no comment from kitco , etc . ) . i also believe that
the reason for this is pretty simple . i had originally started this page with concerns over the kitco pool . upon investigation , the concerns proved to be valid . kitco has changed the safety of the kitco pool , without informing customers .
in short : kitco used to state that the kitco pool was 100 % backed by physical precious metals , the metal backing it was owned by customers , the metal backing it was not part of kitco ' s assets , and the metal backing it was segregated from kitco ' s own assets . i no longer see

kitco readers , have your say ! check out our newest feature - kitco chat ! - where you can share your comments and ask questions directly to us .
evidence that this is still the case , and kitco has not responded to my requests for more information . i strongly urge anyone holding the kitco pool to read the article , and push kitco for answers to the questions listed in the article .
( kitco news ) - wall street and main street both look for gold to maintain its luster in the week ahead , based on the weekly kitco news gold survey .
any prudent kitco pool holder ( or prospective holder ) needs to know what would happen to their money if kitco is liquidated in bankruptcy . if you cannot answer that , i cannot see how any prudent investor would be able to have money in the kitco pool .
anyone who has money in the kitco pool needs to know the answer to this question .
today the brand ‘kitco’ gleams in the middle east life as the brightest star of supreme quality and trust . the journey ahead is an even brighter and definite dream for us , aspiring every member of the kitco family and celebrating along with every family with kitco in it .
in march , 2014 a blogger did some investigating and discovered that the kitco pool is no longer 100 % backed by physical precious metals , not properly segregated from kitco ' s own assets ( $ 25 million of the kitco pool was seized by revenue quebec in june , 2011 ) , and kitco pool customers are not considered creditors in the ongoing ccaa proceedings .
since 1977 , kitco metals inc . has been a leader in the precious metals industry . millions of people trust kitco ' s accurate and reliable market information and news . thousands of customers trust kitco to buy and sell gold and silver and other precious metal products at very competitive prices .
means that if 100 % of kitco rhodium pool customers tried withdrawing all their metal , kitco would only have 90 % of the metal they need to give to customers . so no , the kitco pool is not 100 % backed . at best , it is a bit under 90 % backed .
kitco makes it easy to buy and sell gold coins , silver bars , and other precious metals .
starting back in 2007 , silver analyst ted butler voiced concerns over unallocated accounts including the kitco pool .
since revenue quebec was able to seize $ 25m of metal backing the kitco pool during the raid in june , 2011 , i see no reason they would sit back and allow the metal backing the kitco pool to be given away to others just because kitco feels it is the way it ought to be .
according to the lbma - - the same people that determine if gold bars qualify as
good delivery
say that unallocated account holders are unsecured creditors . kitco says the kitco pool is an unallocated account .
“ [ mr . kitner ] believes that [ revenu - québec’s ] continuous pursuit of this case is an abuse of their authority and has caused substantial harm to kitco’s ongoing operations and development , ” kitco said in an emailed statement . “kitco continues to vigorously contest all aspects of [ the department’s ] actions . ”
now , i am starting this page about the kitco pool , as a result of public concerns that there may be no ( or not enough ) metal backing the kitco pool . this page is designed to find out exactly what backs the kitco pool , and to help investors determine if it is safe for them .
are ( e . g . they are titled in the name of
kitco pool
rather than
kitco metals , inc .
) , then those assets would likely be sold and the proceeds split among kitco pool holders . that is similar to an allocated account , just that the assets are titled among multiple people .
i therefore believe that as of june , 2011 , the kitco pool and cas were fully backed with metal .
620 cathcart street is where kitco ' s offices are , the same location where the raid occurred in 2011 .
at this point , i believe most kitco pool customers think that the pool is 100 % backed by physical metals as described above . and as the article details , this appears to no longer be the case ( and kitco has chosen not to confirm what they previously stated ) . i would urge people to spread the word , as i see no signs that kitco has been letting their customers know about this material change to the kitco pool .
most people involved in precious metals are likely familiar with the name kitco . kitco is a canadian company that buys and sells precious metals such as gold , silver , platinum and palladium . they even are involved in rhodium .
in 1995 , kitco launched its website kitco . com . this website is the world’s leading source of precious metals market information , news , and reporting . kitco produces spot gold price data and charts that are used by thousands every day . in addition , the website features tons of market commentary that is updated regularly throughout the day .
kitco has an entire division dedicated to metals news called kitco news . this division of the company provides original content by print articles and videos . the company reports not only on precious metals but base metals , as well . because of kitco’s reputation within the industry , kitco reporters and analysts are regularly featured on various media outlets such as cnn , reuters , bloomberg , marketwatch , bnn , the wall street journal , the new york times and more .
kitco has been the subject of a bankruptcy case . the company has been dealing with the quebec revenue agency regarding some back - tax issues that kitco claims are the responsibility of its suppliers . kitco has said that it strongly contests the tax assessments issued for these taxes and that it will vigorously defend itself . kitco was originally granted creditor protection back in 2011 , and this past march was granted an extension of that protection until august 21 , 2014 .
due to the quality and quantity of kitco’s coverage on the metals markets , it is no wonder that the kitco name is so well - known . in fact , it is said that their website urltoken receives a million visitors per day .
i believe the idea is that since the kitco pool , cas , and cash deposits are ( at least in theory ) fully backed , and kitco sells the backing when the customer gets their money , there is no need to consider them creditors .
kitco is headquartered in montreal , quebec and also maintains offices in new york and hong kong . not only does kitco buy and sell metals , the company also has a large news operation and provides jeweler resources , discussion forums and even mobile apps .
that means that slightly over 10 % of the metal backing the kitco rhodium pool is in a vault controlled by heraeus . and
alex létourneau reports on the mining industry for kitco news . he has covered various industry events , government mining initiatives and visited various mines . alex hosts the weekly segment , mining minutes on kitco news . he holds a journalism degree from montreal’s concordia university .
however , it turns out that things aren ' t quite as nice and safe as kitco leads customers to believe . as of december 31 , 2016 , kitco ' s rhodium pool held 9 , 000 ounces of rhodium ( per their bankruptcy / ccaa documents , specifically
kitco’s news and market coverage is quite expansive . kitco reporters and analysts cover not only market developments and fundamentals , but also provide commentary and coverage on such things as technical analysis , commitment of traders reports , and more . kitco news not only utilizes the market knowledge and commentary of its own journalists and analysts , but also utilizes commentary and analyses from other industry professionals . these professionals may include metals brokers , scrap dealers , futures brokers and bank analysts . the diversity of kitco’s commentary and coverage can provide readers with different points of view .
after a lot of digging , it turns out that the court considered kitco pool customers ' s claims to be
excluded claims .
this is because the monitor petitioned the court that kitco pool customers ( and cas customers , and those with cash held by kitco ) should be excluded ( and not considered creditors ) , as their rights
are not and will not be affected
by the ccaa proceedings .

so why are the kitco pool customers not listed as kitco creditors ? for that , i asked the bankruptcy ( ccaa ) monitor . their response ? no answer . so i went up a level and asked the osb , which oversees ccaa in canada . they said to ask the monitor .
at some point after kitco discovered that they were under investigation by revenu quebec ( but before they were raided ) , kitco tried to get the name on the account changed . however , heraeus refused , as the agreement was that this metal was ( according to heraeus ) colleratal for a loan .
i would be especially interested in copies of the audits cas customers get , as well as any agreements that are not available on the kitco website .
so from what i can tell , any metal backing the kitco pool would be part of the bankruptcy estate , and split equally among creditors . at that point , the critical question - - the one that could determine whether you got half you money back or much less - - is whether the kitco pool is 100 % backed . but that appears to be the
hot potato
that neither kitco nor the monitor wants to be held answering .
kuwait indo trading co . , popularly known as kitco , was established fifty years ago , in 1962 . growing with the modern nation and evolving with its culture over the past half century , the name kitco became a household name and a synonym for snacks among the families in kuwait . the kitco ‘bunny’ became a member of the community representing taste and fun , and is well renowned in the kuwait and middle east markets today . this recognition of the brand is a result of over fifty years of passion and dedication the kitco family invested in providing the utmost quality snacks to the families of the region .
“among kitco’s lines of business is the purchase of scrap precious metals , ” the company explained in its statement . “kitco pays the companies’ sales taxes on these purchases and receives tax credits for the corresponding amounts . it is then the companies’ responsibility to remit these taxes to [ revenu - québec ] . ”
and at least 6 of those jewelers were sued by revenue quebec for filing false invoices , the same scheme that revenue quebec claims kitco was involved in .
the total amount allegedly derailed by all 12 companies charged was $ 350 - million over a two year period ending in 2010 , mr . dion said . the ministry claims kitco specifically made false statements and tried to obtain tax rebates to which it wasn’t entitled . the amount related to kitco was not made public .

when the investigation first came to light , kitco said it was being held “unjustly” responsible for the actions of its suppliers . it maintained that position on monday .
( kitco news ) - expected exponential demand for electric vehicles ( ev ) is breathing new life into a well - established polymetallic project in canada’s yukon territory .
it shows that ( unknown to the public until now ) the monitor verified that inventory backing the kitco pool , cas , and customer bank accounts in june , 2011 .
“if [ revenu - québec ] had acted upon the information in kitco’s reports in a timely manner , their tax losses could have been prevented , ” the company said .
. . . [ the monitor ] sent letters to all known depositories and banks . . . requesting that they confirm the balance of inventory and / or funds on hand . . . in addition , [ the monitor ] performed test counts of physical inventory stored at kitco ' s montreal head office as well as at a facility utilized by its subsidiary , kitco logistics inc . , located in rouses point , ny . . . . based on the responses received as well as reconcilliations performed , to date , no material discrepancies have been noted with respect to kitco ' s records relating to inventory located at kitco or at third parties in support of customer pool obligations and the cas program .
quebec’s revenue department on monday said it filed a total of 1 , 920 charges against kitco and 11 other companies as well as their directors and an accountant implicated in an alleged fraud scheme linked to gold processing . some 120 charges were filed against kitco and another 120 against mr . kitner involving total fines of $ 454 . 6 - million .
the monitor even states clearly that if no claim was filed by the bar date , the creditor
shall not be entitled to assert any claim against kitco metals , inc .
i have a page with an analysis of some of the facts about the kitco pool that i have uncovered , the concerns , and so forth . you can read all about it at the
the most serious concern - - that the kitco pool may not have been fully backed - - is no longer an issue . i now have proof that it was verified in june , 2011 .
kitco says it sought advice from revenu - québec to make sure that the tax it was paying to companies were being properly remitted to the ministry . it says that starting in november 2005 , it sent detailed transaction reports to the ministry every month stating its concerns . the ministry did not respond , despite having received over 60 such reports over a five - year period , kitco said monday .
. without his work alerting people to the concerns of pool and unallocated accounts , it is likely that people would have not expressed concerns about the kitco pool accounts , and this page would not be here .

such changes would be acceptable if customers were made aware of them ; however , the changes were made surreptitiously . therefore , some people are investing based on past reassurances without knowing the truth about the kitco pool .
well , if kitco won ' t answer , and the monitor won ' t , i will take a stab at it . however , please remember that i am no expert at bankruptcy , let alone canadian bankruptcy .

however , i have seen nothing indicating that the assets are legally separate from kitco assets . it looks like the full extent of the metal being owned by customers is that bart says
oh , yeah , that pile there ? that ' s not ours . it belongs to our customers .
if the assets legally belong to kitco metals , inc . , then they should of course be part of any bankruptcy liquidation ( and as tulving creditors can tell you , a bankruptcy is

although there are further concerns , given the lack of interest from kitco customers and non - customers alike ( perhaps 10 % of the interest of tulving , despite over 10 times as much money
in play
) , i cannot justify spending the time to further investigate at this point . if things change , however , i will update this page in the future as needed . given that kitco censored the tulving bankruptcy , i feel it very important to provide further updates if there any .
from sept . 18 - 20 join the kitco news team at the precious metals summit in beaver creek , colorado . the invite - only event connects institutional investors and executives of major mining companies with prospective explorers and developers on the junior side . kitco news was given exclusive access to the event and will be interviewing key players in the mining space . “the summit is the place to discover emerging growth companies with the potential to provide high - octane future returns , ” the conference website writes .
eighteen market professionals took part in a kitco news wall street survey . fourteen voters , or 78 % , see gold prices rising by the end of next week . two , or 11 % , voted lower , and the same number said sideways .
kitco is world renowned and trusted since 1977 , as a source of gold news , gold prices , and expert commentary on the gold market , as well as a secure source to buy gold bars , buy silver coins , and other precious metals in several formats .
kitco forcefully denied the allegations . the company last year filed a lawsuit against revenu - québec seeking $ 122 - million in damages caused to the company and on monday , it said its legal action against the department will escalate as a result of the formal charges .

the penal code charges stem from a probe by the tax ministry dubbed project carat , disclosed in june 2011 . while it defended itself from the allegations , montreal - based kitco was granted bankruptcy protection that month . its current creditor protection extension is set to expire in march 2014 .
the kitco online main street poll resulted in 986 votes , with 645 participants , or 65 % , calling for gold to climb over the next week . another 280 voters , or 28 % , said that gold will fall , while 61 , or 6 % , were neutral .
i found this to be extremely concerning . if people pay kitco money , and expect it back , and the lbma says they are creditors , there better be a very good reason for them not to be listed as creditors . the
claims bar date
was july 20 , 2012 ,
tools , tool kits and connectorization products - at kitco we sell a full line of fiber optic connectorization products including connectors and consumables , but we are particularly recognized for our expertise in designing and manufacturing tools and the packaging of kits for the termination , testing and troubleshooting of fiber optic systems .
kitco was started by bart kitner in the 1970s . kitner was , at the time , a college student who was looking to put his business acumen to the test . kitner did not have any financial backing , and he started the company with just a $ 700 loan . he began in the metals industry by purchasing scrap metal from jewelers across eastern canada . kitner would take the scrap metal , refine it , and then sell it again to larger companies . his business grew and kitner expanded into other areas . by the end of the 90s , kitco was involved in precious metals as well .
two legendary visionaries , mr . jassim al wazzan and mr . b . r . oberoi , joined hands and initiated the fabulous journey of kitco in 1962 . their foresight and vision in supplying superior quality foodstuff to the kuwait market has sailed across generations , conquering the pinnacle of excellence in the industry .
( kitco news ) - gold and silver prices are modestly higher in early - afternoon u . s . trading monday . mild support comes from some bargain hunting in the cash market and short covering in the futures market , following recent losses that drove the two precious metals prices to multi - month lows last week .
it does leave some potential issues ( e . g . changes since then , whether part was backed by third - party pools then , etc . ) . however , it has addressed my most pressing concerns , and i fully believe that at least in june , 2011 the kitco pool was 100 % backed by metal .
accolades and laurels sought the brand and honored it throughout the voyage , ornamenting its triumphs . state - of - the - art production facilities , world - class quality enhancements , stringent standards , relentless research and development in product development , along with hearts full of passion and minds focused on vision earned kitco the current glorious position as the market leader
kitco started its half century journey with foodstuff wholesale and trading business , and eventually ventured into mastering the “art of snacks” in 1976 . success and brilliance became the companions of the brand throughout the journey as consistency and enhancement of quality stayed as the prime vision . as the products became part of everyday life in the country , new product ranges were introduced to the market with innovative ideas and delicious flavors .
mahendra sharma of urltoken told kitco news that gold will be trading within a 15 % to 20 % range from now until october , when it bottoms out . sharma bases his predictions on astral charts , and said that the yellow metal should adopt a “very strong momentum” after it bottoms out in october . on the world cup , sharma said that mexico and brazil will do well and should be “watched closely . ”
our analysts and columnists are often featured and quoted in major american , canadian and international publications . our market news and analyses are often sought by leading business journalists because they are recognized as being authoritative , neutral and reliable . kitco often finds mention in publications including : bloomberg , cnn money , fortune , forbes , associated press , reuters , bnn , marketwatch , new york times , the globe and mail and the wall street journal .

gold is up against a few factors this week including president trump’s address before the u . n . as well as the latest federal reserve meeting but longtime investor adrian day is not too worried . ‘i think people expect too much from gold . whatever scenario you’re in , everyone expects gold to react more than it does , ’ he told kitco news at the precious metals summit . ‘but when you think about what gold has done , i think it has done very well this year . ’
( kitco news ) - gold futures prices ended the u . s . day session higher and closed at a 2 . 5 - month high close monday . safe - haven demand and technical buying were again featured in the yellow metal . a lower u . s . dollar index was also supportive “outside market” for the precious metals today . december comex gold was last up $ 5 . 60 an ounce at $ 1 , 297 . 20 . september comex silver was last up $ 0 . 03 at $ 17 . 025 an ounce .
today the third generation of the alwazzan and oberoi families uphold the heritage and vision of the founders , adding flavor and joy to the daily lives of families in the middle east . during this grand journey , kitco attained many trophies by acquiring various subsidiaries like the gulf pastries manufacturing company ( 1988 ) which specializes in the baking and distribution of an extensive range of bakery products . the fresh and frozen bakery items reaches the homes of middle east under the renowned and trusted brand “sara cake” . the kuwait biscuit & food products manufacturing company ( kbc ) was also established in 1980 .

i am pausing updates to this page , and may not do any further updates .
after a lot of waiting , pushing , and prodding , i finally got an interesting document yesterday from the monitor .
: see the ' unpause ' article above this . they forgot to see if the companies holding metal backing the pool considered the metal collateral . oops ! ]
what i did not know until today is that 620 cathcart ( about 10 stories tall ) houses many jewelers . the building , at least in 2011 , was
filled with manufacturers , importers and wholesalers of jewelry
according to one newspaper .
hypothetical ) . if that is the case , revenue quebec will get their share . my understanding is that they would be considered an unsecured creditor ( they are in the ccaa proceedings ) , but i cannot be certain of that .
and if a claim was not filed by then
the creditor ' s rights could be severely and irreversibly affected .
in 2011 , i started following ishares slv due to public concerns that the metal it holds may not exist ( i have seen no signs that this is true ) . in 2013 , i started following the tulving company due to concerns that it had serious financial problems that could prevent customers from getting their orders ( they shut down 4 months later , owing customers about $ 18m ) .
i am trying to act as a
middleman ,
finding out where the truth lies , and what concerns ( if any ) are justified .

“this is an investigation that’s lasted several years and the evidence is significant , ” said revenu - québec spokesman stéphane dion . “without a doubt , it’s one of the largest investigations we’ve ever done . ”
during the june 2011 raid , more than 175 provincial investigators with search warrants descended on several montreal area businesses , private residences and offices of accounting firms and bankruptcy trustees . revenu - québec alleged some 125 companies in two separate gold trading networks engaged in tax fraud scam on sales transactions worth $ 1 . 8 - billion . it claimed the firms also avoided paying the federal goods and services tax .
the six - step scam was based on a repetitive cycle of processing pure gold into scrap gold , which is , in turn , sent to a refiner to be transformed once again into pure gold , revenu - québec said in its explanation of the fraud at the time . “the scheme is based on bogus transactions made in order to claim input tax refunds , ” the ministry said . “no actual commercial activity ever takes place… with each [ cycle ] , fraudulent gains grow and the scheme expands using amounts received from the government . ”
it is rare for revenu - québec to ask for prison sentences related to fraud . in fact , it’s something that has only recently started and has involved only high - profile files . this past summer , for example , the ministry demanded a prison term for quebec construction magnate antonio accurso as it brought fraud charges against him and his companies .
mr . kitner faces a maximum prison sentence of five years under quebec law and two years under federal law if he is found guilty . but because he faces more than 100 separate charges , a court could decide to lengthen that sentence , mr . dion said .

is this the end of palladium ? - mitsubishi corp . ( part 2 )
investors and market participants continue to digest and parse key events from yesterday . political turmoil , along with the release of last month’s fomc minutes , has caused major repercussions across a wide swath of financial markets .
these repercussions are sending strong ripples throughout the u . s . equities markets , resulting in a triple digit decline in the dow jones industrial average and a 1 . 3 % decline in the nasdaq composite . in tandem is a flight to safe haven assets , such as gold and silver , and continued downside pressure in the u . s . dollar .
minutes from last month’s fomc meeting revealed that the federal reserve has been increasingly cautious about triggering another rate hike this year . this is based on the current level of inflation which is well under their 2 % target . some fed members have suggested a pause in rate hikes as they ascertain whether this current trend will persist .
what began as just a few members who were apprehensive about inflation coming in well under target has swelled in numbers and is no longer in the minority .

f . b . polson’s name is most closely associated with the many ships built under his care . although his yards were kept employed chiefly by the construction of functional vessels , they also turned out a number of steam yachts whose fine lines commanded respect . supported by a steady trade in boilers and engines for an expanding economy , polson’s pioneering efforts in the canadian steel shipbuilding industry were a significant contribution to the country’s maritime heritage .

the mainstays of the company during these lean years were engines and boilers , but by the end of the decade it had returned to shipbuilding , turning out at least two or three vessels each year . polson and others lobbied the federal government almost annually for a bounty on canadian - built tonnage , to counteract the cheaper iron , coal , labour , and capital available to british shipbuilders , but prime minister sir wilfrid laurier * refused to act . in 1903 , accompanied by john joseph long of the collingwood shipbuilding company and other manufacturers , polson visited ottawa to request financial support instead for the construction of dry docks . such subsidization would be legislated in 1910 .

cobourg star , november 1 , 1907
the rather sudden death of franklin b . polson , president of the polson iron works of toronto , occurred on monday about noon at his home in that city . he ( was ? ) at his office on saturday , and his illness , acute indigestion , lasted only two days . the deceased was born at port hope feb . 10th , 1858 , and was consequently in his 50th year . when young he came to cobourg , and received his education at the cobourg collegiate institute , and entered the engineering profession , and served a lengthy apprenticeship . he was first engaged in the service of the cobourg and peterboro railway and mining co . , and afterwards with the peterboro railway and mining co . , and with other railway and manufacturing concerns . in 1883 he with his father founded the polson iron works . he was first married to a daughter of the late dr . h . t . wood of this town , and later to a miss thompson * of toronto , who survives him with five * * children . he was an enthusiastic yachtsman , a member of the canadian society of civil engineers , the engineers club of new york , and many other clubs . his funeral took place in toronto on wednesday , and was largely attended .

the affairs of his own company , however , kept polson quite occupied . a mechanical and marine engineer who could also serve as a naval architect , he took a direct interest in the construction of each vessel . he secured orders for steam yachts in “steel , iron , composite or wood , ” as well as contracts to build steel - and wooden - hulled fishery cruisers for the federal department of marine and fisheries . this work kept the shipyard operating through 1891 , by which time f . b . polson had assumed the position of managing director , but the firm was soon caught up in the industry’s temporary decline . in spite of a massive recapitalization in 1888 and a voluntary liquidation in 1889 , it was unable to honour its obligations regarding dredging and improvements to the dry dock at owen sound . in 1895 the town council refused to extend the period of tax exemption and two years later the polson plant was moved back to toronto .
the steady advancement of the business led to its incorporation on 23 oct . 1886 as the polson iron works company of toronto limited , with william as president and franklin as secretary - treasurer . much capital was invested in making it the country’s best - equipped boiler and engine works . the most significant expansion of its trade occurred in 1888 , when , in a successful bid to bring the firm’s shipbuilding operations to lake huron , the town of owen sound offered it a grant of land , an adjacent channel dredged at municipal expense , and exemption from property taxes for ten years . a by - law passed later in the year granted the firm $ 15 , 000 to acquire and expand an existing dry dock . the canadian pacific railway had already selected owen sound as a terminus for its steamships . when it decided to replace the recently lost algoma , the polson works was well placed to tender for the contract , which it secured . the launch on 4 may 1889 of the manitoba , the first canadian - built , all - steel passenger vessel , seemed to confirm the polsons’ conviction that the days of wooden shipbuilding in canada were at an end .
these are the ships built by polson iron works in this year . the sources of information for each ship ( national archives of canada , n . a . c . , mills list , etc . ) , are listed , along with other information , specifications , engine information and links to a ship ' s ' story , ' if we have it . if you know anything that we don ' t , please get in touch . we would love to hear from you . use the menu on the left to see what ships were built in each year .
