Pacific Coast Engineering Company (PACECO), Alameda CA

Pacific Coast Engineering was started as a boat builder before WWII.  It ceased active shipbuilding in 1976 when it invented the container crane and shifted its activities to that market.  If anyone can fill any of the gaps in the table below, please contact me at tim@coltoncompany.com.  See the shipyard site from the air on Google here.
