Shipbuilding company From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Company was a major shipbuilding and construction company, located in Seattle, Washington, on the southwestern corner of Harbor Island, an artificial island in Elliott Bay. The Bridge and Dredging Company created the island, completing its construction in 1909. It established itself in 1898 and engaged in construction projects around the United States and shipbuilding for the U.S. Navy during and after World War II. During the war it also operated under the name Associated Shipbuilders in a joint venture with the nearby Lake Union Dry Dock Company.[1] In 1959 Lockheed purchased the shipyard and it became the Lockheed Shipbuilding and Construction Company.[2] The Yard was permanently closed in 1987.
