American Machinery, Beresford FL

Most recent update: March 17, 2011.

American Machinery Company was located on the eastern side of Lake Beresford.  There's a marina at the end of Lakeview Drive in Beresford that looks as though it might have been a boatyard at one time.  See it from the air on Google here.  If anyone has any information either about the yard itself or about the ships it built, please send it to me at timcolton@aol.com
