Pidgeon-Thomas was a family-owned fabrication business dating back to 1872, which turned to for the war effort, building 187 LCTs in 27 months - about one every four days. The fabrication shop was at 107 East E. H. Crump Boulevard, at the intersection with South Main Street: this is now a large abandoned lot. The LCTs were assembled in a separate facility, which was where the Pyramid Arena is now, just north of the I-40 bridge. The company closed in 1988. If anyone can provide any additional information about either the yard or the boats it built, please e-mail it to me at timcolton@aol.com. |
