- W4385859467 abstract "Ballantyne Pier was originally constructed between 1921 and 1923, as a major expansion to the Port of Vancouver to alleviate shortages of dock facilities, which had become sharply apparent after the First World War. The new pier also provided port access for the new Canadian National Railway, as the Vancouver shoreline had been dominated by the Canadian Pacific Railway up to this point. In addition to cargo-handling facilities, the new pier included the first grain elevator built for export of grain from Canada’s West Coast. The Ballantyne Pier shed’s façade was built in a three-bay brick and stone Classical Revival style, a popular style of the time, which was found in banks, schools, government offices and churches in that era. When completed in 1923, it was considered by some as one of the most technically advanced port facilities in the world. In 1935, Ballantyne Pier was the site of a clash between police and striking workers, an event known as the “Battle of Ballantyne Pier”, which ultimately led to the creation of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU). Up until the early 1990s, Ballantyne Pier served as a bulk export facility. In 1992, the pier was redeveloped into a two-berth cruise ship terminal. Years later, the water lot between the west berth and adjacent Centennial Pier (Centerm) was filled in to allow expansion of Centerm’s container handling capacity. To meet continued growth in the Port of Vancouver’s container sector, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority is once again redeveloping the combined Ballantyne Pier and Centerm sites. The historic Ballantyne Pier shed façade, including a portion of the original shed, is being retained and incorporated into Centerm’s new state-of-the-art container operations facility building." @default.
