Stone's boatyard was founded in 1853, in Tiburon, at a site that's where Sam's Anchor Cafe is now. It moved to the Harbor View section of San Francisco in 1899, then to a site at Kennedy and Bocimer Streets in Oakland in 1912, and finally, in 1942, to 2517 Blanding Avenue, in Alameda, where it remained until it closed in 2007, after 154 years of operation. See the final site from the air on Google here. Despite this long life, there is very little about Stone's Boatyard on the internet, at least that I can find. If anyone can provide any information about this yard's history or can add to the table below, please e-mail me at timcolton@aol.com.
