Shipyard Acres was an unincorporated community in Napa County, California.[1] It lies at an elevation of 33 feet (10 m).[1] Shipyard Acres is located 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south-southeast of Napa.[2] This was a wartime neighborhood consisting of nearly 400 of plywood houses built to house worker families involved in the World War II effort building ships at Basalt Rock Company.[3] It sprang up early in the war and was dismantled sometime in the mid-1950s. It was on the northwest corner of what is now Kaiser Road and Napa-Vallejo Highway. Some of the structures were moved a few miles west to the Cuttings Wharf area, resurrected, and are still in place near the marina.[4]
