Book Title: History And Business Directory Of Humboldt County

SHIP BUILDING

A Flourishing Industry

    THE SHIP-BUILDING interest is a very important one. There are two regular
ship yards, H. D. Bendixsen's and Peter Matthews', and a marine railway, the
latter equipped with all the modern appliances of marine science and capable of
taking out vessels of the largest class plying our waters, which has proved a
great convenience to our ship-owners both in time and the matter of economy, and
has proved a source of profitable investment to the owners. At this time there
are three vessels under course of construction and a number more have been
projected. Over one hundred vessels have been built at the various ship-yards of
Humboldt Bay, and they have won the name of being superior crafts. There is a
lavish abundance of the very best character of ship timber within easy reach of
the Bay, and this industry offers one of the most promising openings to master
ship-builders. We confidently assert that the advantages for enlarging this
interest are unexcelled anywhere.
