Royal Navy Shipyard, York (Upper Canada)
From Wikipedia.
This would be referring to the Royal Navy Dockyard there. York, Upper Canada, is now Toronto, Canada.
The yard operated from 1793 to 1813. It actually was in operation before the town of York was even there.
It built only a few ships before being moved to Kingston because it was too easy for the Americans to attack..
SHIPS BUILT:
TORONTO, schooner, wrecked 1817
HMS PRINCE REGENT-- schooner launched 1812. Renamed HMS BEREFORD in 1813
HMS NETLEY in 1814 and finally became the NIAGARA, base ship before being broken up in 1843. ////
HMS ISAAC BROCK-- incomplete frigate burned on the stocks.
