Notes
  • includes field notes for 295-A through 295-R
  • Significance: The United Engineering Company Shipyard, established in 1941 to build and repair ships for the U.S. Navy, is the last surviving of several large World War II shipyards in Alameda. United Engineering built 21 tug boats and repaired hundreds of ships during the war. Three of the seventeen surviving buildings and structures in the shipyard, including the largest building, were built in 1911 to 1915 as part of the West Alameda Inspection and Maintenance Shops for work on the Red Cars of the extensive East Bay electric car lines of the Southern Pacific Company. During both periods of its history, the facility was one of the largest employers in Alameda and played an important economic and social role in the city.
