INTERNATIONAL SHIPBUILDING

Upper Nyack NY

Most recent update: August 31, 2021.

The grandly named International Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. was one of a bunch of small shipbuilders which flourished in Nyack in the late 19th/early 20th century.  It was organized for WWI in 1917 and dropped out of the market in the mid-1920s.  Who owned it?  If anyone can add to the table below, please e-mail timcolton@aol.com
