CGS Aberdeen manufacturer Fleming and Ferguson
Service history
Aberdeen was ordered in 1893 from Fleming & Ferguson and constructed at their yard in Paisley, Scotland. The ship was launched on 19 June 1894 and completed in August of that year. The ship was named for the Earl of Aberdeen, the Governor General of Canada at the time. Entering service in 1894, Aberdeen was initially deployed as a lighthouse supply and buoy vessel along the Atlantic coast of Canada. The vessel was later transferred to Quebec before returning to the Atlantic coast in 1904 when the vessel was assigned to Saint John, New Brunswick.
