USCG Yard Curtis Bay

The USCG Yard Curtis Bay, established in 1899 near Baltimore, Maryland, is the United States Coast Guard’s sole shipbuilding and major repair facility. Throughout its history, the Yard has played a critical role in building, overhauling, and maintaining Coast Guard cutters, buoy tenders, and other vessels. During World War II, it dramatically expanded its operations, constructing hundreds of small craft and performing vital repairs for the war effort. Today, the Yard remains an essential logistics and engineering center, supporting Coast Guard missions worldwide with advanced ship maintenance and upgrades.
