Eagle Bay, New York — She came to our yard as a bare hull and our Portsmouth, VA team outfitted, painted, and brought her to life. What a beauty heading home to the Eagle Bay Fire Department! Huge thanks to the Eagle Bay FD for trusting us with this important part of their team, and to our production crew for an outstanding job.

Welcoming the Kaye E. Barker back to Fraser Shipyards on a perfect blue-sky day as she eases into our dry dock.

Our team is proud to support Interlake Steamships’ fleet and honored to have the Barker in our care as she is one of our favorite boats.

We’ll make sure she’s well looked after and ready for many more safe and successful seasons on the Lakes.

Comedians! Every team has one—we just keep ours (mostly) under wraps.

Behind every successful delivery is a crew that knows how to work hard and keep things light when it counts. It’s all part of building a strong culture and even stronger products.

Thank you, LAB team, for bringing your A-game day in and day out.
It’s your dedication that makes the difference—because the work matters, and so do you!

From the shop floor to the Lake Superior shoreline.

This police vessel started with skilled hands, long hours, and a shared mission—build a boat that performs when it matters most. Now it’s on the water, ready to serve and protect along our coastline.

That’s what mission ready and purpose-built looks like.
