Cryer & Sons, Oakland CA
William Cryer, an immigrant from England, established his shipyard in the 1890s, in San Francisco. He moved it to 11th Avenue in Oakland in 1907 and then to Dennison Street in 1912, just below the Coast Guard Island Bridge, where it stayed until it closed in 1989. Although it's been closed for over 25 years, it's still there, because the site is still contaminated: see it from the air on Google here. For most of the time, Cryer built and repaired power boats: apart from its wartime experience, it only built a few large boats. Comments or queries, please email info@navalmarinearchive.com.
