The PBI Story

Did you or someone you know work at Peterson Builders (PBI)? We are looking for the “People of PBI” who have a story to tell about their work building ships there. If you have a photo of yourself at work at PBI – share it with us along with some information about the image. ​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​Please share this! We want to capture the stories of our local shipbuilders!

Why are we doing this? We are developing an exhibit on the People of PBI, and we will contact you to verify your story, and potentially include your image and story in the new exhibit.
