Kaiser Company, Inc., Swan Island Shipyard, Portland OR

Kaiser Swan Island was an emergency yard, built with 8 ways in the fifth wave of shipbuilding expansion, with $23mm from the USMC.  The yard was one of the four specifically designed to build T-2 tankers.  It was built on land belonging to the Port of Portland, which bought the yard after the war and operated it as a common-user ship repair facility until 1999, when it sold it to its principal tenant, Cascade General, Inc.  Cascade continues to operate it as a ship repair facility today.  See the shipyard from the air on Google here.
