Untitled[edit]

Ownership: This is the company George Steinbrenner owned, without which he wouldn't have been wealthy enough to buy the NY Yankees during the 1970s. That deserves mention here and in Steinbrenner's page. Steinbrenner made a controversial decision to relocate the company to Tampa.

Any ship building still going on?[edit]

Is there any successor company still building ships at this site? The "was" in the first sentence implies there isn't, but all the last entry (under Steinbrenner) says is that the company "was sold."

Doesn't indicate if ships are still being built by any successor company. Ileanadu (talk) 20:45, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is no mention of the Ore Boats LOR 905, 906, and 907. Weren't those built in the 1970s at the Lorain Ohio yard??

Current Activity?[edit]

The article ends with the company being sold by George Steinbrenner in 1995 possibly while still under bankruptcy protection, but that part is unclear. Who bought the company and what happened to it? Is it still operational? The initial line of the introduction makes it seem that it ceased operations, but when and under what circumstances? Nutster (talk) 16:18, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
