Could St. John's Newfoundland be a major naval base into the 1900s?

Access to the port is tight, 91 meters wide, 11.8 meters deep. This would allow the largest of the RN's battleships to access, though HMS Vanguard would have only 80cm of water underneath!

Once inside the port, there is space for large warships, as shown by these large cruise ships.
