Froemming Bros., Milwaukee WI
Froemming Bros. was built for the war effort and was only in operation from 1942 through 1945. The site was on the north side of the Kinnickinnic river, just west of South 1st Street: it was later the Wagner Iron Works and is currently occupied by Milwaukee Marine Yacht. See it from the air on Google here. Comments or queries, please email info@navalmarinearchive.com.
