      John Lindstrom & C.R. Green established Lindstrom Shipbuilding in 1899 in Aberdeen, WA. It closed in 1907 after Lindstrom bought Bendixsen Shipbuilding in Eureka, CA., and moved the business south. 
      When WWI approached, the Aberdeen yard was leased by Grays Harbor Shipbuilding Corporation –– later Grays Harbor Motor Ship Corporation and modernized for the construction of cargo ships for the US Shipping Board.
