| - | Consolidated Shipbuilding was a builder of luxury yachts, the result of the merger of Charles L. Seabury Co., originally established in 1885, at Nyack, on the Hudson River, and Gas Engine & Power Co. The yard was located on Matthewson Road, in the Bronx, in what is now Roberto Clemente State Park. See the shipyard site from the air on Google here. After WWII, Consolidated bought the Robert Jacob shipyard on City Island and closed the Morris Heights yard. It ceased to be an active shipbuilder in 1958 but continues as a yacht repair center.[http://shipbuildinghistory.com/history/shipyards/6yacht/inactive/consolidated.htm] | + | Consolidated Shipbuilding was a builder of luxury yachts, the result of the merger of Charles L.
