Notes
  • Significance: The Thames Shipyard has been in constant use from the time of its completion in 1903 to the present (as of 1978). Originally constructed to build and repair ocean-going tugs and barges, the yard served as a submarine maintenance base in World War I and World War II. Few major alterations have been undertaken at the yard. It remains a complete, surviving example of a wooden shipbuilding and repair facility, and contains the oldest known steam powered marine railway in the U.S.
