Construction of Eureka's newest shipyard is well underway on the old McKay mill property between A and C Streets, 2nd Street, and the waterfront. It will build wooden purse seiner type fishing boats to replace the same type of boats preempted by the government from fishermen. The boats will be 78-92 feet log, diesel powered, and made of douglas fir. In connection with this plant in Eureka, the company will build a mill at Fields Landing to cut extra long timber and lumber especially used for boat construction. The mill at Fields Landing is nearing completion. The Eureka plants plans to turn out 8-12 boats per year.
