On November 17, 2023, the owners of Bay Ship & Yacht Co., Bill Elliott and Alan Cameron, announced the sale of their company to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) trust.
Bay Ship & Yacht Co. has been located in Alameda, CA for just under 30 years and is one of the largest employers in the City. This transaction provides a method for all present and future BSY employees to participate in shared ownership of the company through a retirement savings program. Bill and Alan selected this option for selling BSY as the best way to ensure the continued success of the company and to give the hardworking BSY workers a stake in the enterprise.
Bay Ship & Yacht Co. remains committed to providing absolute customer satisfaction and to being the best ship repair yard on the West Coast.

Bay Ship & Yacht Leadership Transition
BS&Y’s beginnings were humble though, as Elliot first operated out of a single, mobile shipping container known as the “Shipyard in a Box.”
In a transition that takes effect March 28, Joel Welter, the company’s chief naval architect, will become CEO, and Gerona Goethe, currently assistant general manager, rises to become general manager.
Vice President Alan Cameron, who joined Elliott’s fledging BS&Y in 1979, currently serves as general manager. In the future, both Elliott and Cameron will be engaged in business development outside BS&Y, according to the company.
Welter graduated from Webb Institute in 1994 with a degree in naval architecture and marine engineering and has been with BS&Y since 1998. Goethe attended California Maritime Academy, holds a degree in marine engineering technology, and has been with the company since 2000.
Founded by Elliott in 1977, BS&Y’s marine refit-and-repair capabilities now serve a cross-section of commercial and government customers, encompassing the region’s expanding ferry system, barge network, superyachts and more.
BS&Y’s main facility, located in Alameda, Calif. along with Svendsen’s Marine & Industrial supply, employs about 350 craftspeople. Another facility, Svendsen’s Bay Marine in Richmond, Calif., specializes in commercial and recreational vessels.
Historic ships from San Francisco’s National Maritime Museum are a frequent sight at BS&Y, nestled alongside modern ferries and superyachts, according to the company.

Massive Barge at Treasure Island Holds Secrets
The military built the submersible barge for a secret mission., by jean elle • published august 2, 2012 • updated on august 3, 2012 at 7:20 am.
A football field size barge with a retractable roof recently docked on Treasure Island is getting lots of attention.
Workers with Bay Ship and Yacht say they are getting emails about the barge and people are stopping by the security fence asking questions.
NBC Bay Area News stopped by as well and got permission to board.
The barge is the Hughes Mining Barge or the HMB-1.
The military built the submersible barge for a secret mission. It carried a tool called The Claw, that the CIA used to grab a Russian submarine off the ocean floor. After that mission the HMB-1 docked at Lockheed Martin in Redwood City where another secret mission launched.
This time Bay Area engineers helped the military build a stealth ship called the Sea Shadow. It looks like a sci-fi movie prop. But experts say it pushed the limits of technology in an attempt to make a ship that could not be detected by radar.
Bay Area tribe seeks support for in fight for federal recognition
Victims in deadly wrong-way crash on Highway 85 in San Jose were mother and son, coworker says
The cold war relics were recently declassified and put up for auction. Bay Ship and Yacht paid $2.5 million dollars for the pair but had to agree to scrap the Sea Shadow.
Workers are beginning that process in the privacy of the HMB-1.
"It's a new experience, everyday we find something new -- little secrets here and there. A tremendous amount of technology went into this. The engineering is astounding," said worker Paul Pegan.
Bay Ship and Yacht general manager Alan Cameron has big plans for the HMB-1. He will restore it and use it as a dry dock.
He says ship work can be harmful to the environment and the retractable roof makes it possible to make it a completely closed space.
"Being able to control the environment and weather is huge in ship repair it's a smoke stack industry and it doesn't have to be," Cameron said.
A military relic will soon be a maritime marvel.

Bay Ship dry dock is a one-time CIA asset
After the conclusion of Project Azorian, the HMB-1 was mothballed at the Todd Shipyard in San Francisco until November, 1982. The Navy then towed it to Redwood City, where it became a floating dock for the construction and sea trials of the stealth ship Sea Shadow.
In its new role, the unit can accommodate vessels displacing up to 6,300-long tons with a maximum beam of 76 feet. It is the only dry dock on the West Coast to be fully enclosed by a retractable roof. This unique facility offers several major benefits:
- The dry dock’s 69 ft high roof prevents loss of workdays due to inclement weather, helping projects stay on time and on budget.
- The covered facility ensures maximum quality control for paint and other marine coatings applications. Bay Ship & Yacht has earned QP-1 certification from the Society for Protective Coatings, a nationally recognized standard.
- Projects carried out in the enclosed dry dock are “greener,” since the facility keeps materials, fluids and emissions that may be potentially hazardous to the environment safely contained inside.
The HMB-1 facility has expanded Bay Ship & Yacht’s dry dock capacity by 18 feet in width, while its lifting capability has more than doubled. This allows the yard to service commercial and pleasure vessels that are much larger, beamier and heavier than ever before.
“Under the direction of Alan Cameron, Bay Ship & Yacht’s General Manager, the HMB-1 dry dock was completely transformed in almost every aspect, meeting all environmental requirements with minimal impact on marine life,” said Anthony Del Gavio, Business Development Manager. ‚”The ability to close its roof makes working conditions ideal for delivering the best-quality product Bay Ship & Yacht is known for, and it is something our painting and vessel refinishing will surely benefit from. I am quite proud of this new facility of ours, and I know our customers will be delighted with our new expanded capabilities.”

Bay Ship & Yacht opens dry dock with retractable roof
The following is the text of a press release from Bay Ship & Yacht Co.:
(ALAMEDA, Calif.) — Bay Ship & Yacht Co., one of America’s leading service, refit and new construction yards for superyachts and commercial vessels, recently expanded its capacity and capabilities by unveiling a new covered dry dock that accommodates vessels displacing up to 6,300-long tons with a maximum beam of 76 feet. Currently the only dry dock on the West Coast to be fully enclosed by a retractable roof, this new high-tech facility on San Francisco Bay is a conversion of the submersible Hughes Mining Barge (HMB-1), which played a role in a covert Cold War operation.
According to CIA documents declassified in 2012, the HMB-1 was built in the 1970s by the U.S. Navy as part of Project Azorian, a top-secret plan to salvage the Soviet submarine K-129, which sank while reportedly carrying three nuclear-armed ballistic missiles, from the floor of the Pacific Ocean. The ruggedly built HMB-1 was designed to submerge to 160 feet and sit on the seabed during the transfer of heavy equipment required to retrieve the sub. After Project Azorian’s successful conclusion, the HMB-1 was transferred to Lockheed Martin, where it became a floating dry dock for the Navy’s experimental 164-foot SWATH vessel Sea Shadow, a test bed for stealth technology.
Today, the new HMB-1 dry dock, which has a 69-foot retractable roof, offers Bay Ship & Yacht clients a covered environment for commercial ship and superyacht service, repair and refit projects. This unique facility offers several major benefits:
• The dry dock’s roof prevents lost workdays due to inclement weather, helping projects stay on time and on budget.
• The covered facility ensures maximum quality control for paint and other marine coatings applications. Bay Ship & Yacht has earned QP-1 certification from the Society for Protective Coatings, a nationally recognized standard.
• Projects carried out in the enclosed dry dock are “greener” since the facility keeps materials, fluids and emissions that may be potentially hazardous to the environment safely contained inside.
The HMB-1 facility has expanded Bay Ship & Yacht’s dry dock capacity by 18 feet in width, while its lifting capability has more than doubled. This allows the yard to service commercial and pleasure vessels that are much larger, beamier and heavier than ever before.
“Under the direction of Alan Cameron, Bay Ship & Yacht’s General Manager, the HMB-1 dry dock was completely transformed in almost every aspect, meeting all environmental requirements with minimal impact on marine life,” said Anthony Del Gavio, Business Development Manager. “The ability to close its roof makes working conditions ideal for delivering the best-quality product Bay Ship & Yacht is known for, and it is something our painting and vessel refinishing will surely benefit from.
