Al Larson Boat Shop

To support the World War 2 demand for ships Al Larson Boat Shop built: US Navy Sub chasers and Minesweepers.

Larson started by building boats by hand from Pacific Northwest lumber.

As the shop grew, he moved to its current location in Fish Harbor, in the Port of Los Angeles.

Adolph Larson's son sold the boat shop in 1960 to Andy and Gloria Wall.

The shipyard is the only one in the Port of Los Angeles now operating and able to work on ships of all sizes with its 100 employees.
