GLOBE SHIPBUILDING (WWI)

Superior WI

Most recent update: August 24, 2021.

There were two Globe Shipbuilding Companies in Superior, one operational only during WWI, the other only during WWII.  This yard was founded by James McKellar, a shipyard joiner from Port Glasgow and was on the site that was used by Walter Butler Shipbuilders in WWII.  If anyone can add to the table below, please e-mail me at timcolton@aol.com.
