'''North Van Ship Repair''', later known as '''Pacific Dry Dock,''' was a shipyard in the [[North Vancouver (city)|city of North Vancouver, British Columbia]], Canada which built many of the {{sclass|Bangor|minesweeper}}, [[Fort ship]]s and [[Victory ship]]s for Britain and Canada during [[World War II]].  Founded in 1931 by Arthur Burdick, it was located just west of Lonsdale Avenue adjoining the [[Burrard Dry Dock]]. In 1939, they built three launch ways and began building minesweepers, later expanding to allow the construction of cargo ships. In 1951 it was sold to its next-door neighbor, Burrard Dry Dock, and absorbed.  The site was pulled down in the early 1980s and became the [[Lonsdale Quay]] and the [[Insurance Corporation of British Columbia]] (ICBC) building.
