In 1920, Globe Shipbuilding Company, of Superior, WI, relocated to Baltimore, MD and opened a new yard, called Globe Shipbuilding & Dry Dock of Maryland.
The business closed in 1922, however, after building 2 ships and experiencing bankruptcy of a client for whom the were converting 5 Hog Islanders into Tankers.
A new company, Maryland Dry Dock, took over the yard in April 1922 and opened it under the name until 1957 when it became Maryland Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co.
The company was primarily a repair yard which also did major conversions and reconstructions and only limited new construction. Koppers Company of Pittsburgh, bought the business
in the mid-1930s. Fruehauf Corp. bought it in 1968 and closed it in 1984. It has been a car terminal ever since.
