Anderson & Cristofani
San Francisco CA
Most recent update: November 2, 2014.
Anderson & Cristofani was the survivor of a group of shipbuilders who built San Francisco Bay scows, between the early 1870s and the mid-1930s, in a row of yards along Innes Avenue, in the India Basin, at Hunter's Point. Henry P. Anderson, a shipwright, arrived there from Denmark in 1893 and bought Dircks' yard on Innes Avenue, renaming it, first, H. P. Anderson Boat Building and, later, Anderson's Ways. This soon became one of the dominant yards, absorbing others as the market for scows declined. Anderson was joined by Alf Cristofani in 1926 and the name was changed again. The yard was sold to property speculators in the 1980s but acquired by the City in 1989, for the development of the India Basin Shoreline Park. The Allemand Brothers boatyard continues there today.
