DOOLEY'S BASIN

Fort Lauderdale FL

Most recent update: August 26, 2021.

Dooley's Basin & Dry Dock Company was organized in 1937 for the war effort and closed after the war, having built 97 air-sea-rescue boats.  It was later bought by Frank Denison and re-established as Broward Marine.  The yard was located where Lauderdale Marine Center is now, on the New River, just east of I-95: see it from the air on Google here.  If anyone can fill any of the gaps in this table, or untangle any of the apparent duplications, please e-mail your input to me at timcolton@aol.com
