Robert Jacob Shipyard was founded in 1900 by Robert Jacob on City Island, Bronx, New York. Throughout World War II, the facility manufactured PT boats and tugboats for service with the United States Navy. During World War I, its production focused on submarine chasers. Outside of military contracts, the shipyard primarily built yachts, schooners, and sloops. In 1946, the business was acquired by Consolidated Shipbuilding located in Morris Heights, Bronx, which subsequently moved its operations to the City Island site. Consolidated Shipbuilding discontinued its activities in 1958 and sold the yard to Wesley Rodstrom, who transformed it into a yacht repair enterprise.
