This web site is devoted to the history of the U.S. shipbuilding industry.  This primarily takes the form of tables of the construction records of individual shipbuilders, but also includes tables that document the construction of different types of ships and boats.  In addition, there is a variety of statistical information, plus a bunch of stuff about the shipping industry and about international shipbuilding.  All the tables have now been transferred from the old site - www.coltoncompany.com - but it will be a while until they have all been fully reformatted and edited.  And there are still thousands of gaps in the data.  Please send any additions and corrections to timcolton@aol.com.
