Globe Shipbuilding Company, Superior WI


Almost nothing is known about this shipyard.  It was revived for WWII, but was it building, repairing, both or neither in the years between the wars?  If anyone can provide any information about it, or about the ships it built, please e-mail me at tim@coltoncompany.com
