Pacific Boatbuilding
Tacoma WA
Most recent update: June 3, 2014.
Pacific Boatbuilding was founded in 1937 by Arne Strom and Haldor Dahl, who were also co-owners of Tacoma Boatbuilding. The yard was at 759 Port of Tacoma Road, where the container terminal is now. In 1945 John & Robert Brescovich, the owners of Puget Sound Boatbuilding, bought it and started a pleasure boat division, producing small aluminium cruisers up to about 30 ft long, with production of larger vessels then being concentrated at Puget Sound Boatbuilding.
