FULTON SHIPYARD

Antioch CA

Most recent update: January 14, 2016.

Fulton Shipyard was started in 1924 by Frank Fulton and Angeline Fulton Fredericks on a site on the San Joaquin River that had first been developed as a shipyard in 1918, by a company called Jarvis Bros.  It closed in 1999.  The yard was at the foot of Fulton Shipyard Road in downtown Antioch: see it from the air on Google here.  If anyone can add to the table below, please e-mail your info to me at timcolton@aol.com.
