Lake Washington Shipyard
Lake Washington Shipyards was a shipyard in the northwest United States, located in Houghton, Washington (today Kirkland) on the shore of Lake Washington, east of Seattle. Today, the shipyards are the site of the lakeside Carillon Point business park.[1] The shipyards built many civilian and U.S. Navy ships.[2] History Lake Washington Shipyard was founded in the 19th century as the Anderson Shipyard. This shipyard specialized in the construction of wooden tugs and ferries. In 1923, Anderson Shipyard was bought by Charles Burckardt and renamed Lake Washington Shipyards. The new shipyard converted to steel shipbuilding. During World War II, its workforce grew to 9,000 employees and it was a major repairer of small ships as well as a builder. After the war, the company stopped making new ships but continued to repair old ones untit it finally closed in the 1960s. Today, the commercial/residential development at Carillon Point occupies the site of the former shipyard.[3] Ships built hereShips built at Lake Washington Shipyards include (with launch dates).
