'''Moore Dry Dock Company''' was a ship repair and [[shipbuilding]] company in [[Oakland, California]].
In 1905, Robert S. Moore, his brother Joseph A. Moore, and John Thomas Scott purchased the National Iron Works located in the [[Bayview-Hunters Point, San Francisco|Hunter's Point]] section of  [[San Francisco]], and founded a new company, the '''Moore & Scott Iron Works'''  Moore had previously been vice president of the [[Risdon Iron Works]] of San Francisco. Scott was nephew to Henry T. and Irving M. Scott, owners of the nearby [[Union Iron Works]], where John had risen from apprentice to superintendent. Their new business was soon destroyed by fire resulting from the [[1906 San Francisco earthquake|San Francisco earthquake]].

In 1909, Moore and Scott decided to move across the Bay, and so purchased the '''W. A. Boole & Son''' Shipyard, located in Oakland at the foot of Adeline Street<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.google.com/maps/place/Adeline+St,+Oakland,+CA/@37.7967461,-122.2919732,15.75z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x80857e13e342685d:0x90d9963445e10e94!8m2!3d37.8286276!4d-122.2792554|publisher=Google Maps|title=Adeline Street, Oakland CA|access-date=11 May 2021}}</ref> along the [[Oakland Estuary]].

In 1917, Moore bought out Scott and changed the business name to '''Moore Shipbuilding Company'''. Henry T. Scott and John T. Scott tried to establish a rival business with the [[Pacific Coast Shipbuilding Company]],<ref name="pmr_17_10_79">{{cite magazine|url=https://archive.org/details/pacificmarinerev1417paci/page/n618/mode/1up|title=In and About San Francisco|magazine=Pacific Marine Review|date=October 1917|page=79}}</ref> an enterprise that eventually did not outlive the World War I shipbuilding boom. The [[Design 1015 ship]] was also called the ''Moore & Scott Type''.

In 1922, Moore Shipbuilding renamed to the '''Moore Dry Dock Company''', operating primarily as a repair yard, amidst a severe lack of demand for new construction in the 1920s and early 1930s. Its shipbuilding capabilities were again promptly expanded for the [[World War II]] boom, providing over 100 ships for the [[U.S. Navy]] and [[merchant marine]].<ref>Herman, Arthur.

In 1950, the Moore facility was the target of a union picket when sailors were having a dispute with a ship owner whose ship was in Moore's dry dock at the time. The court battle which ensued eventually led to the ''Moore Dry Dock Standards'' for Primary Picketing at a Secondary Site ([[Sailors' Union of the Pacific]] (Moore Dry Dock Co.), 92 [[National Labor Relations Board|NLRB]] 547, 27 [[Labor Relations Reference Manual|LRRM]] 1108 (1950)).<ref>Rainsberger, Paul K.

Moore Dry Dock Company ceased operations in 1961. Its site at the foot of Adeline Street on the Oakland Estuary is now occupied by [[Schnitzer Steel Industries]], a large scrap metal recycling concern, based in Portland, Oregon.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.waterfrontaction.org/history/50.htm|title=Moore Dry Dock Co.

==W. A. Boole & Son==

18 May 1901, the ''Lahaina'', the first ship built in Oakland, is launched from the yard of ''W. A.

==Shipbuilding in Oakland and Alameda==

{{GeoGroup|section=Shipbuilding in Oakland and Alameda}}

The area of the Port of Oakland was a major shipbuilding center of the Bay Area during the war peaks that started in 1916 and 1940 and ended in 1922 and 1946. Like for the rest of the country, shipbuilding either came to a complete halt for many of the yards or proceeded at a much reduced rate in the interwar years due to the saturation of the market and during a time of [[Washington Naval Treaty|arms reduction treaties]] and [[Great Depression|economic austerity]].
