Kaiser Richmond

Kaiser Richmond, Richmond CA

Richmond #4 was an emergency yard developed by Kaiser Cargo, Inc., with 3 ways in the fifth wave of shipbuilding expansion. It was originally intended to be an expansion of Richmond #3 and was designated Richmond #3A, but was assigned separate management and renamed Richmond #4. It closed at the end of the war. The yard was located on the south side of the inner end of the channel, at Wharf Street: see the site from the air on Google here. Comments or queries, please email info@navalmarinearchive.com.
