Caption TURNER/ROBERTSON SHIPYARD, 1883-1918 In 1882, Matthew Turner of San Francisco relocated his shipyard to Benicia. Turner, the most prodigious shipbuilder in North America, constructed 228 vessels, 169 of which were launched here. In 1913, the shipyard was purchased by James Robertson, who operated it until 1918. The yard ways, and the Whaler Stamboul, used as a shipyard work platform, are visible at low tide.
