(Broward Marine, Broward Shipyard) Dooley's Basin, Fort Lauderdale FL

Dooley's Basin & Dry Dock Company was organized in 1937 for the war effort and closed after the war, having built 97 air-sea-rescue boats. It was later bought by Frank Denison and re-established as Broward Marine. The yard was located where Lauderdale Marine Center is now, on the New River, just east of I-95: see it from the air on Google here.
