Dating from the late 1890s, they were once part of a dry dock at the Trigg Shipyard, named for Richmond business man William R. Trigg. With the labor of some 2,000 workers, on October 31, 1899 the shipyard launched its first boat, the USS Shubrick, presided over by President William McKinley and some 30,000 celebrants.
