This web site is primarily concerned with the history of the U.S. shipbuilding industry. In the right-hand column below are links to tables that document the construction records of individual U.S. shipbuilders and boatbuilders, the construction of ships in U.S. yards by type, and assorted historical statistics. In the left-hand column are links to tables that document current activities in the U.S. shipbuilding and shipping industries, some of the more interesting activities in international shipbuilding, and the construction records of Canadian shipbuilders. Please send any additions and corrections to TimColton@aol.com. Latest additions: Two new statistical tables - U.S. Shipbuilding Deliveries in 2010 and U.S. Shipbuilding Contracts in 2010. Also, the Summary of U.S. Shipbuilding Deliveries, 2000-2009, has been expanded to include the previous decade, 1990-1999. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
