Alex Anderson

Marine City MI

Most recent update: May 8, 2016.

Alex Anderson's yard built both schooners and steam ships, so it must have made the transition to modern shipbuilding, but I can find no information about it except that it was at the foot of Broadway, the central point of Marine City.
