Camden Shipbuilding and Marine Railway Co., Camden ME


 Camden Shipbuilding and Marine Railway was started in 1940 by Richard Lyman, Cary Bok and Clinton Lunt.  After the war it was reconstituted as Camden Shipbuilding Co. and built fishing vessels and yachts until failing in 1963.  It was bought by Wayfarer Marine, which still operates it as a maintenance facility.
