Crowninshield Shipbuilding
South Somerset MA
Crowninshield Shipbuilding was a small shipyard designed for the construction of ocean tugs for the USSB and owned by the super-rich Crowninshield family. Crowninshield kept on building tugs after the war was over and was one of the yards that built "six-bitters" for the Coast Guard in the mid-20s. It closed in 1929. The site, which was formerly used by Reed Brothers Shipyard, was at the south end of Riverway Road, in South Somerset: it is now occupied by Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding and its neighbor, Fortier Boats. Note that between 1920 and 1945 there was another commercial shipyard in Somerset, called Somerset Shipyard: its record is shown below but its location is unclear.
