History of the Fore River Shipyard

Description: From humble beginnings in 1884, this yard grew to become the second-largest in the country, and was a leader in the US shipbuilding industry for a century. Fore River constructed hundreds of ships, ranging from freighters to aircraft carriers to LNG tankers, for customers around the world. The yard is probably best-known for its extensive work in naval shipbuilding, playing a key role in building the fleets that fought in both World Wars and the Cold War.
