Mobile Shipbuilding
Mobile AL
Most recent update: August 24, 2021.
I can find little about the Mobile Shipbuilding Company. It appears to have been located at the foot of Virginia Avenue, where the State Container Terminal is now, so it is probably the facility that in WWII was ADDSCO's "Lower Yard".
