To support the World War II demand for ships, Fulton Shipyard built minesweepers, tugboats, and troopships.
Fulton Shipyard was on the San Joaquin River and an inland port located more than seventy nautical miles (130 km; 81 mi) from the ocean, emptying into Suisun Bay.
[1] Fulton Shipyard was featured in a 1914 movie called The Stolen Yacht, a short drama film released on November 5, 1914.
ATR-1 class - ATR is the US hull classification symbol meaning Auxiliary Tug Rescue.
The propulsion was one Fulton Iron Works vertical triple-expansion reciprocating steam engine with two Babcock & Wilcox "D"-type boilers with a single propeller creating 1,600 shaft horsepower (1,200 kW).
[4][5][6][7] Fulton Shipyard built troopships of the APc-1-class small coastal transports design.
The minesweepers were powered by a diesel engine with 400 hp (300 kW) and a top speed of 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph).
Accentor-class minesweepers were used to sweep naval mines in harbors, bays, and other littoral waters, due to their small size.
The vessels were powered by four Packard ID1700 diesel engines, with 2,280 brake horsepower (1,700 kW) and two controllable pitch propellers.
