Delaware Bay Shipbuilding, Leesburg NJ
Delaware Bay Shipbuilding Co., Inc., was formed in 1920 by Dr. Malcolm Sharp, a medical doctor but the son of a seafaring man. The objective was to build fishing vessels, but it soon expanded into recreational boats. In 1929, it was bought by a group of investors who divided it in two - Delaware Bay Shipbuilding for the bigger boats and Debasco Boat Works for the smaller ones. The yard was on Main Street, at Sharpstow Lane, where Yank Marine's repair yard is today. Comments or queries, please email info@navalmarinearchive.com.
