Kansas City Steel, Kansas City KS
The Kansas City Structural Steel Company was founded in 1907, by Howard Fitch and Olaf Smith. The main plant was on the site of an old smelting works at 21st Street and Metropolitan Avenue, on the Kaw River. During WWI they supplied structural steel and rudders to the Hog Island shipyard in Philadelphia. During WWII, they built 407 landing craft for the Navy: in addition to the 85 LCTs listed here, they built LCM(6)s and LCM(3)s, but the records are not clear on the details. To handle this output, they developed a second yard for outfitting, at a site on the Missouri River in the Fairfax district. Comments or queries, please email info@navalmarinearchive.com.
