The Last Launch – March 20

The Last Launch: The Rise and Fall of Collship is a docuseries about the Collingwood Shipyards and its history in Collingwood. The series speaks to the shipyard’s early beginnings, wartime efforts, the tragedy of Hull #192, subsequent waterfront development, and how Collingwood remembers its blue-collar history today. The emotional connection some locals have with the yard runs deep. Generational careers ended after 103 years of shipbuilding. A Canadian economic force, a place that many called home, and a staple in the industry that made an impact on the Great Lakes all came to a halt on September 12, 1986.
