Most recent update: August 29, 2016.

Seattle Shipbuilding & Drydocking Company, not to be confused with the big yard of a similar name which subsequently became Todd Seattle, was started by Fred Bianco in the 1930s and closed in the 1950s.  The yard was at 2629 NW 54th Street, in Ballard, where Stabbert Shipyard is today: see it from the air on Google here.  If anyone can add to the table below, please send your info to timcolton@aol.com
