The Superior Shipbuilding Company was originally called the American Steel Barge Company, and based in Duluth, Minnesota.
After World War I the yard stopped manufacturing ships and instead turned to repair work.
It was initially known as the Knudsen Brothers Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company.
Fraser Shipyards does dry dock work, also conversions: steam to diesel and coal-fired to oil-burning.
Lake Assault boat builders operate out of Fraser Shipyards.
