Moving into the 1860s, there was a notable difference in the price of a ship build in Saint John in relation to those build in other, smaller, ports in New Brunswick; although, Saint John ships continued to reign supreme. The reason for this differentiation in price is the expense associated with building in Saint John. On the North shore, shipbuilders were able to make sure of the large quantity of pitch pine timber and plank necessary for ships construction – as hardwood was abundant and therefore used to build ships at a lesser cost. This did not stop Saint John shipbuilders, since their reputation was second to none, as “the fame of this port city continued to grow.” Though, must be said “the shipbuilding business of New Brunswick during 1861, may be said to have moderately remunerative, although not by any means inflated or speculative. The quantity built was not large as compared with former years, and but few, if any, of the new vessels have been forced on the market or sacrificed.” There was still a demand for wood-built ships, as many believed that as long as they had a way into the foreign markets they could undoubtedly continue to compete with any country. As it is known today, most Saint John shipbuilder’s long-term dreams of growth and prosperity would not be achieved, though at the time all builders would have done anything humanly possible to protect their craft. Shipbuilding in 1862 was far greater than it had been from 1825 to 1830, as previously noted, the ships and their size were comparatively smaller and much less valuable in compression to 1862. The Customs House return for the year, 1862, notes the quality of ships built in Nova Scotia carried 23,634 tons cumulatively, while Prince Edward Island held on...
