Miami Shipbuilding, Miami FL

This yard was located at 615 S.W. 2nd Avenue: its magnificent Art Moderne office building served as the police station on "Miami Vice" and is a protected building.  The site is currently being turned into condos.  Little is known about this yard, however, although it apparently built more than 500 crash boats and later became famous as a developer of hydrofoils.  If anyone can provide any information about either the yard or the ships it built, please e-mail it to me at tim@coltoncompany.com.
