This gallery features photographs of marine facilities located in Mckinley Bay on the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula, by the Canadian Beaufort Sea. Initially Mckinley Bay was well protected from storms and sea ice, but was too shallow for the vessels used by Canadian Marine Drilling, a subsidiary of the former Dome Petroleum Limited. Large Dutch dredges were brought into the area to carve out an entrance channel, an anchoring basin, and to create an artificial island next to the basin. The pictures show dredges, drillships, a floating drydock, and an icebreaker inside the drydock. On my first visit to Mckinley Bay in May 1982, I drove there in a stationwagon from Tuktoyaktuk. No land road existed so as the Beaufort Sea was still frozen, I travelled across the ocean on an ice road. Dome Petroleum Limited was later purchased by Amoco Canada Petroleum Company Ltd.
