Most recent update: July 8, 2020.
Harvey Gamage started this yard, which was also known as Bristol Yachtbuilding, in 1924: it closed in 1981, although a marina operation continues on the site, which is at Gamage Drive and Shipyard Road.  See it from the air on Google here.  If anyone can add to the table below, please e-mail your data to me at timcolton@aol.com
