The John H. Mathis shipyard

.


The John H. Mathis shipyard at Point & Erie Streets in Camden was known far and wide for its yachts and also produced ships for the Navy and Coast Guard. Famed yacht designer John Trumpy began building yachts at the Mathis yard in 1910, and remained there until he opened his own shipyard up in Maryland. During World War II a variety of ships were built, including minesweepers, transports, Coast Guard cutters, and ferries, among others.
