Description

Fore River Shipyard is a photographic history of one of America's most significant shipyards. Established in 1884 by Thomas A. Watson, it employed thousands of local residents and became the largest private employer along the South Shore during World War II. The yard played a pivotal role in maritime history, with notable achievements including the construction of the USS Long Beach (CGN-9), the first nuclear guided-missile cruiser. This book celebrates Fore River Shipyard's legacy through postcards that showcase its diverse shipbuilding projects, from early submarines to ocean liners. Through these images, the yard's significance is revealed as an integral part of the South Shore community for over a century.
