Oregon Shipbuilding Company, Portland OR

Oregon Shipbuilding was one of the original nine emergency yards, built by Todd and Kaiser with 8 ways, with $23mm from the USMC.  Its 8 ways were increased to 11 in the second wave of shipbuilding expansion.  Kaiser bought out Todd's interest in 1941.  At its peak, Oregon Shipbuilding employed over 35,000 people, 30% of them women.  After the war, the yard was closed and liquidated.  It was located on the east side of the Willamette River, almost at its intersection with the Columbia.  See the site from the air on Google here.
