Camden Shipbuilding

Camden ME

Camden Shipbuilding and Marine Railway Company was started in 1940 by Richard Lyman, Cary Bok and Clinton Lunt. After the war it was reconstituted as Camden Shipbuilding Company and built fishing vessels and yachts until failing in 1963. It was then bought by Wayfarer Marine, which still operates it as a maintenance facility.
