Shipyards
During the construction and repair of American warships and other large navy vessels, shipyard workers and military personnel were often exposed to asbestos-covered boilers, wall insulation, turbines, pipe covering, gaskets, pumps, cement and other asbestos products.
For your convenience, we have collected brief histories and information on some of the major shipyards across the Unites States or America. Those who worked at these shipyards are at risk to develop asbestos-related diseases including malignant mesothelioma and asbestos cancer.
