Established by Joseph Dyer, Acme Mansker, and Clair Mansker, AMCCO began as Astoria Shipbuilding in 1922. Located at 92134 Front Road in a relatively rural area called Jeffers Gardens where the Lewis and Clark River meets Jeffers Slough, the company initially built fishing boats and luxury sailing vessels. During World War II and the Korean War, AMCCO gained multiple military contracts. In order to build these larger ships for the United States Navy, the shipyard expanded dramatically with the construction of the majority of the district’s extant buildings in 1941 and 1942. By 1952, AMCCO served as the lead shipyard in the country in constructing a specific type of ocean-going minesweeper during the Korean War. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

Today the small shipyard is largely intact, having lost only a few buildings. The company continues to operate, mainly repairing fishing vessels. Oregon’s State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation recommended the building’s nomination in June 2013 and it joins more than 40 historic Astoria properties in the National Register. The National Park Service maintains the National Register under the authority of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
