Wiley Manufacturing, Port Deposit MD
Most recent update: May 9, 2014.
Wiley Manufacturing Company was founded by Glen Wiley in 1939: the original name was Wiley Equipment Company but it was changed to Wiley Manufacturing in 1943. The yard closed in 1982 after delivering 32 tunnel sections for the I-95 tunnel under Baltimore Harbor, each of which was 320 feet long by 82 feet wide by 40 feet deep. Its spectacular site, on the left bank of the Susquehanna River, just above the I-95 bridge, is now occupied by condos. See it from the air on Google here.
