Lynch Shipbuilding, San Diego CA
This yard had been idle for years when it was acquired and reactivated in 1940 by Martinolich Shipbuilding. Martinolich got into difficulties early, however, and Frank Lynch, who had moved to San Diego from Idaho in 1926 and was in the lumber business, took over the yard in 1941. The yard was at the foot of 28th Street, immediately adjacent to NASSCO, and Lynch sold it to NASSCO in 1948. If anyone can add to the table below, please email info@navalmarinearchive.com.
