Sir Ambrose Shea was the naming basis for the [[lift bridge]] in [[Placentia, Newfoundland and Labrador|Placentia]] which helps transport pedestrians and boats through the passage of water separating the communities of Placentia and [[Jerseyside]]. There have been two iterations of the [[Sir Ambrose Shea Lift Bridge]], the first being built in 1961 after the MV '' Ambrose Shea'' ferry service had been in service for a number of years. The second bridge was finished in 2016, and stands tall as a big tourist attraction in Placentia.
