Dravo Corporation Ships/Boats - Pittsburgh PA

Dravo's Neville Island shipyard, in Pittsburgh, was started in 1919. It was activated by the Navy for WWII, to build LSTs, with an investment of $12mm. After the war it was a ship scrapping facility for a few years and then returned to building inland river barges and towboats. It closed in 1983. See the site of the shipyard from the air on Google here. Thanks to Ingo Steller for his contribution to this table, which lists only the self-propelled vessels built by Dravo in Pittsburgh. Click here to see a table of the barges built at the yard and here to see the output of Dravo's yard in Wilmington DE. Please email additions and corrections to info@navalmarinearchive.com.
