A. W. de Young Boat & Shipbuilding Company was a shipbuilder located in Alameda, California active in the 1920s. She was incorporated in 1924 with $150,000 in share capital by ship designer and builder A. W. de Young in partnership with R.J. Connor.[1] De Young had previously operated a ship repair facility on the Oakland side of the estuary but due to high business demand needed to acquire more space.[2] The yard was located at the foot of Chestnut Street.[2] The firm immediately secured contracts to build ten 75-foot patrol boats for the United States Coast Guard (CG-253 through CG-262) at $21,637 apiece[3] which were all completed and in commission by 1925;[4] a pile driver for the San Francisco Harbor Board;[5] a snagboat (Yuba) for the U.S. Engineers Department of the Army for use on the Sacramento River completed in 1924; as well as improvements to the Dollar Steamship Company's dock facilities.[1] She went on to build a variety of ships thereafter mostly focusing on barges, dredges, and freighters for local use[1] including a twin-screw, shallow-draft, bay freighter (South Shore II) for the South Shore Port Company.[6][7]
