Permanente Metals Corp., Richmond No. 2 Yard, Richmond CA


Permanente Metals #2 yard was developed by Todd and Kaiser as Richmond Shipbuilding #2, in the second wave of shipbuilding expansion, with 6 ways, with $36mm from the USMC.  Its 6 ways were increased to 9 in the third wave of shipbuilding expansion and to 12 in the fifth.  Kaiser bought Todd's interest in 1942 and renamed it.  It closed at the end of the war.  The yard was located at the north side of the marina, where Marina Park is now: see the site from the air on Google here.
