Lyon Shipyard was established in 1928, when George C. Lyon, Sr. and two partners bought the facilities of the G.T. Taylor Marine Railway. Originally known as Moon Shipyard and Repair Corporation, the yard consisted of only a small frame machine shop, carpentry shop, and two marine railways. Moon Shipyard was situated on the same piece of prime waterfront property, the eastern branch of the Elizabeth River, where Lyon Shipyard remains to this day.

Lyon Shipyard inside machine and Z-Drive gear box shops are available for machining work for any business in any industry. Maritime machining isn't the only industry we service. Here at Lyon Shipyard we have a full array of precision machining equipment ready to serve numerous industries with short lead times.

George Lyon, Jr. has been the President of Lyon Shipyard for over 30 years. His areas of expertise include operations, project management, mergers and acquisitions, estimating, contracting and strategic planning. Under George's leadership the company has grown 10 fold while diversifying its customer mix and increasing the yard's production capabilities.
