HARBOR BOAT BUILDING

Terminal Island CA

Most recent update: December 23, 2020.
Harbor Boat Building Company was founded by Romolo Rados in 1919.  After WWII, it called itself Harco, opened a plant in Wilmington and started marketing standard-design motor boats: these boats are not included in this table.  It was sold to LTV in 1959, to Omega-Alpha, Inc., in 1971, and closed in the 1970s.  See the site at the end of Wharf Street - where the Gahagan Bryant facility is today - from the air on Google here.  If anyone can add to the table below, please e-mail me at timcolton@aol.com.  Thanks to John Gregory Rados for the record from 1925 through 1944.
