    History

    Historical Note

    Mare Island Naval Shipyard , near Vallejo, CA, was the first United States naval installation on the west coast. On January 4, 1853, the United States purchased the island for the U.S. Navy. Over 500 naval ships were built at Mare Island Naval Shipyard during its 142-year history. In the spring of 1996, the shipyard officially closed.

    Custodial History

    The materials were collected by the San Francisco Maritime Museum and accessioned into the National Park Service when the museum was made a unit of Golden Gate National Recreation Area and then were transferred to San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park after the establishment of the new park in 1989.
