Burger Boat, Manitowoc WI


Burger Boat was founded in 1863 in Manitowoc WI, by Henry B. Burger and continues in business today as one of the leading yacht builders in the U.S.  The original shipyard was sold in 1902 to what is now Manitowoc Corporation, but the next generation of the Burger family started a new shipyard across from their old one.  If anyone can fill any gaps in the table below, please e-mail timcolton@aol.com.  Visit the shipyard at www.burgerboat.com.  You could see it from the air on Google here, but the picture is hopelessly fuzzy.
