• CCGS Wilfrid Laurier & CCGS Laurier & CCGS Wilfred Laurier & Wilfred Laurier (ship) & Wilfrid Laurier (ship) & Laurier (ship) should redirect here.

These are the short forms of the name, common mispelling of "Wilfrid" (and complementing the redirect CCGS Sir Wilfred Laurier); and complements the redirect Sir Wilfrid Laurier (Ship). -- 76.65.128.252 (talk) 08:13, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is probably a question for the Canadian Coast Guard, but why does the CGC page for the ship [1] say that it does not have helicopter capabilities when in the images it clearly has a helicopter deck with a helicopter on it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.248.234.57 (talk) 12:22, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

It seems that there may be a slight inaccuracy in the name of the ship's builder. It's my understanding that the shipyard in Collingwood was called "Collingwood Shipbuilding" or "Collingwood Shipyards" in 1985/86. This company was a subsidiary of Canadian Shipbuilding & Engineering, which itself was a subsidiary of Canada Steamship Lines. Notably, this was a different company than Canadian Shipbuilding & Engineering (1986), which was formed as a result of a merger between the former Canadian Shipbuilding & Engineering and the Upper Lakes Shipping Company in October of 1986.

Neither of the companies named Canadian Shipbuilding & Engineering have dedicated pages, and I only have a strong working knowledge of the Collingwood shipyard. Therefore, I think it may be more appropriate to name the builder of this ship as "Collingwood Shipbuilding" since, as far as any sources I can find say, that was the official name of the yard that built this ship. However, it is also appropriate to say that "Canadian Shipbuilding & Engineering" was the company that built the ship.

It's a confusing situation, but I'm just looking to see what the consensus is before editing again since I don't want to be publishing mistakes.

Thanks in advance for your input. WheatenOdin51 (talk) 19:15, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What do the sources about the ship say? If the sources say Canadian Shipbuilding & Engineering, then that is what we go with, per WP:RS. The link can take people to the Collingwood Shipyard page where everything you mentioned can be explained. Llammakey (talk) 11:57, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense then, especially working from the Canadian Coast Guard's official information cited. Much appreciated. WheatenOdin51 (talk) 14:30, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
