Robert Jacob Shipyard, City Island NY

(later Consolidated Shipbuilding)


This shipyard was established in 1860 by David Carll.  It was bought by Henry Piepgras in 1886 and then by Robert Jacob in 1900.  It built subchasers in WWI and returned to yachtbuilding in the period between the wars.  In 1946 it was sold to Consolidated Shipbuilding, who moved to City Island and closed their yard in Morris Heights.  Consolidated closed in 1958 and sold the yard to Wesley Rodstrom as a yacht repair yard.  It is still there, operating as Consolidated Yacht Yard.  If anyone can provide any additional information about the boats it built, please e-mail timcolton@aol.com.
