Most recent update: August 31, 2021.

The Rocky River Dry Dock Company was formed in 1914, by Theodore Zickes and N. Simonson: it closed in 1921 and the property was converted into the Rocky River Yacht Club.  The yard was located on the west bank of the river, immediately south of the railroad bridge: see the site from the air on Google here.  If anyone can add to the table below, please send your info to timcolton@aol.com
