To support the [[World War 2]] demand for ships Madden, Lewis [[shipyard]] switched over to military construction and built: [[US Navy]] [[tugboats]] and launches. After the war the yard returned to pleasure craft building and repair. On March 19, 1960 a large fire broke out at the boatyard. The boatyard was in [[Richardson Bay]] at 200 Johnson street, Sausalito, near the current Sausalito Yacht Harbor. <ref>Sausalito News, Volume 75, Number 12, 19 March 1960</ref><ref>Alphabetic Listing of Major War Supply Contracts: Cumulative June 1940</ref><ref>[https://ift.tt/2M9Rctv Yard Tugs Built or Acquired During WWII ''shipbuildinghistory'']</ref>
