(formerly Bayles Shipyard [1830-1917])
The Bayles shipyard was started in 1830 and apparently built over 140 wooden ships, including whalers, cargo ships and luxury yachts, but little is known about its early years. It was bought by the U.S. Shipping Board in 1917 for $2,225,000 and converted to a steel shipyard, with a new name. It was located at 101 East Broadway, in what is now Harborfront Park, close to the ferry terminal. See the site from the air on Google here. It was closed and sold to Standard Oil of New York in 1921. If anyone can provide any information about the ships it built, please e-mail it to me at timcolton@aol.com
