It was acquired by Frank Kirby in 1871 and incorporated as Detroit Dry Dock in 1874. Detroit Dry Dock acquired nearby Wyandotte Shipbuilding in 1878. Kirby sold the company to The American Ship Building Company in 1899, which renamed it Detroit Shipbuilding, and reorganized its operations, so that ships' hulls were built in the Wyandotte yard and outfitted in the Detroit yard. The yard was renamed AmShip Detroit when AmShip eliminated individual yard identities in 1913. The yard built two lakers after WWI ended and then became a repair facility.
