History by Andreas Jordahl Rhude

Wheeler FibreGlass Boat Corporation of the Bronx, New York was an attempt by Wheeler Shipyards/Wheeler Yacht to get into RFP in 1960. They were very short lived, maybe out of business by 1963.

Wheeler Yacht made beautiful wooden yachts such as Ernest Hemingway's Pilar.

They were involved with McCollum Industries who got controlling interests in Span America Boat Company and Red Wing Fiberglass Products, Inc. in 1961. The intent was to merge all three boat builders into one entity. As it turned out, it did not materialize.
