In 1916 the company was moved to its current site off Shilshole Avenue. It built many vessels during World War II, but by 1960 the shipyard was converted to a marina for moorage and repairs. Ballard still has a vibrant boat building and marine repair industry along the Ship Canal, which can be evidenced by the busyness at the recent opening of boating season.</p> <p><em>Scenes from Old Ballard consists of notes and photos taken from the Ballard Historical Society archives.
