SMITH & WILLIAMS

Salisbury MD

Most recent update: January 25, 2015.
Smith & Williams was a builder and repairer of wooden yachts and fishing boats, started by Captain John S. Smith, the builder of the ram Victory Chimes, featured on the Maine state quarter.  The boats in the table below appear to me to have been the products of Smith & Williams, but some may have been built elsewhere.  The one thing I am pretty sure of here is that their yard was where Roberts Shipyard was from 1953 thru 1980 and where Chesapeake Shipbuilding is today - see it from the air on Google here.  If anyone can answer my questions or improve the accuracy and completeness of the table below, please e-mail me at timcolton@aol.com
