Scope and ContentTodd Shipyards Corporation. Review of Operations 1943-1944. June 1944. One Broadway, New York, N.Y. Booklet, 9" wide x 11-7/8" high, 32 pp. plus covers. Photo illustrated. Two copies. PDF on file. The company had operated the former Tietjen & Lang Dry Dock Co. facility in Weehawken Cove since 1916 using a Hoboken address of Park Avenue and 17th Street. In the list on page [32] of divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates, it is called the "Hoboken Division" and stated "(Formerly Todd Hoboken Dry Docks Inc.)" The many photographs do not name the specific shipyard shown and Hoboken is mentioned only once in the text on page 5: "when severe winter weather stopped production of LCT (Landing Craft, Tanks) in upper New York State, the components were shipped to our Hoboken Division where they were assembled and delivered in quantity." A photograph on page [23] of a 105-foot LCT being loaded on a LST (Landing Ship, Tanks) may be a view of this work in Hoboken. Some vessels seen are named and further research may determine if they were outfitted or repaired in Hoboken. U.S. Navy vessels as well as merchant marine ships (freighter, tankers, etc.) were part of the work done here. Note caption for photo on page 22 calls the ship an "LCT", but it is apparently an LST.
