Historic Sites of Manitoba: Port Nelson Lighters (Northern Manitoba)The steel hull of a ship beached on the south shore of the Nelson River at its mouth on Hudson Bay is a lighter used during construction of the Port Nelson facility between 1913 and 1917. It transported construction materials brought to the site by sea-going ships anchored offshore in deep water to the comparatively shallow waters by the artificial island. A second lighter is located about a half-mile to the northeast, approximately N57.0070, W92.5490.
