Here is something from deep in the LTV archives, a very rare walk-through of the Todd Shipyard, during the short time between it’s abandonment and redevelopment into an Ikea store.

For a whole lot more on the history of this shipyard, check out this 10 year old post we did on it.

NOTE: It sometimes takes a short while for comments to be approved - unfortunately there's a lot of spam comments that come in. I absolutely love when y'all share personal stories of friends relatives etc who worked in these places. It really helps capture what these places were like before they closed up shop.

If you're feeling salty, argumentative comments completely devoid of facts (supply links to support your argument) will not be published. Got a case to state? come with the details.

   Bad Guy Joe! you guys are the best! My Great Grandfather founded Todd Shipyards in 1916.
   A nice tribute on what would have been the 100th Anniversary. Thank you

   I just discovered this site and found this item of particular interest since there is a family connection to a former vice-president of Todd, Charles Strenz. Thanks.
