Boats are not normally made to be sunk, but manufacturing a vessel to do just that has propelled 70-year-old A.F. Theriault & Son Ltd. from traditional boat building into cutting edge innovation, and helping to train navies around the world in the process.
A need to diversify from dependence upon the local fishing industry was what first inspired the Nova Scotia-based boatbuilding company to partner with Meggitt Training Systems Canada Inc. to develop innovative new boatbuilding techniques and a new training vessel that would revolutionize live military operation exercises — and open up a whole new world of opportunity in international markets.
