recent update: March 15, 2022. |
Fashion Blacksmith was started in the 1930s by Ted Long and is now owned
and operated by his son Dale and grandson Ted: they specialize in
conversions, with only the occasional new vessel. Their original yard
was in Fort Dick: they moved to 2nd Street in Crescent City in the
1970s, later to Parkway Drive and finally to their present location at
121 Starfish Way, just west of Neptune Way: see the yard from the air on
Google
here. If anyone can add to the table below, please send your
