MARYLAND SHIPBUILDING
Baltimore
MD
Most recent update: June 18, 2021.
In 1920, Globe Shipbuilding Company, of Superior
WI, relocated to Baltimore and opened a new yard, called Globe Shipbuilding
& Dry Dock Company of Maryland. This business closed in 1922, however,
after building only two ships and experiencing the bankruptcy of a client
for whom they were converting five Hog Islanders into tankers. A
new company, Maryland Drydock, took over the yard in April 1922 and it operated
under this name until 1957, when it became
Maryland Shipbuilding & Drydock Co. The company was primarily a repair
yard which also did major conversions and reconstructions and only limited
new construction. Koppers Company, of Pittsburgh, bought the business
in the mid-1930s. Fruehauf Corp. bought it in 1968 and closed it in 1984: it's been a car terminal
ever since. The yard was
located in the Fairfield section of Baltimore, immediately to the west of Childs
Street, adjoining the site that would become the huge Bethlehem-Fairfield
yard in WWII. See it from the air on Google
here. If anyone can add
