This
website was originally designed in 2002, but is being revised and
updated.
As with an old house being restored or renovated, there will be some parts of it
that will not work yet.
In particular, many of the links are now 24 years old and may not work.
Patience is urged.

Portland, Me, was transformed from a quiet
residential neighborhood into a bustling shipyard
between 1941 and 1945. As many as 30,000 people worked at the yards during those
years. Arthur J. Denis of Westbrook, ME, my
father, was one; so was my late ex-father-in-law,
Harold F. Bent of Gorham, ME.
This website is dedicated to them, their fellow workers, and the magnificent work they all produced.
