Moore Equipment Co., Stockton CA

Moore Equipment Company was founded in 1929 by Stanley S. Moore and his father, in Stockton CA: it was primarily engaged in the manufacture and repair of farm machines, road machines and tools. To support the WWII demand for ships, they built a shipyard and produced landing craft and barges for the Navy. When the war ended, the yard closed and the business was sold to International Harvester. Comments or queries, please email info@navalmarinearchive.com.
