General Engineering
Alameda CA
Barnes & Tibbitts was formed in 1916 by J. D. Barnes and W. G. Tibbitts, but Capt. Tibbitts bought out Mr. Barnes in 1922 and changed the name to General Engineering & Dry Dock Company. In 1928, they bought the Hanlon Dry Dock shipyard in Oakland and operated it as a repair yard. Both yards closed in 1948. The yard was on Clement Avenue, between Grand Street and Chestnut Street, where the Alameda Marina is now.
