Harbor Boat Building
Terminal Island CA
Most recent update: December 23, 2020.
Harbor Boat Building Company was founded by Romolo Rados in 1919. After WWII, it called itself Harco, opened a plant in Wilmington and started marketing standard-design motor boats: these boats are not included in this table. It was sold to LTV in 1959, to Omega-Alpha, Inc., in 1971, and closed in the 1970s. See the site at the end of Wharf Street - where the Gahagan Bryant facility is today - from the air on Google here. Thanks to John Gregory Rados for the record from 1925 through 1944.
