Nichols Bros. Boatbuilders, Freeland WA
Nichols Bros. Boatbuilders was established in 1939 as Nichols Boat Works, in Hood River OR. The Freeland yard was started in 1964 and the Hood River yard became a repair facility, closing in 1988. The Freeland yard closed in 2007, unable to survive a dispute over the construction of some offshore service vessels for Hornbeck, but was quickly sold and reopened. You should be able to see the yard from the air on Google here, but the picture is blurred.
