The records of the Shipbuilding Division consist of fragments from the offices of Hollinshead DeLuce, Manager of Ship Development & Sales; F. A. Hodge, Yard Manager of Bethlehem-Sparrow's Point Shipyard, Inc.: and Charles N. Boylan, General Manager of the Staten Island Shipyard.

The DeLuce material consists of plans and specifications for 25,000-ton tankers. Some earlier material from the Vice President--Shipbuilding's office includes specifications and reports from Bethlehem's World War II activity and some reports from the Central Technical Department on construction methods and tankers for carrying special liquids.

The Hodge material consists of fragments documenting the World War II program in the Baltimore yards, including congratulatory telegrams. A small body of material from the Beaumont Yard includes brochures on the yard, the surrounding area, and its role in supplying the oil and gas industries.

The largest group of records comes from Charles N. Boylan. It includes plant organization charts, maps, and directories, and reports on sea trials of several freighters. There are drawings of the Morse Fuel Oil Burner System developed by the predecessor Morse Dry Dock & Repair company, notes on constructing small barges by the assembly-line process, and machinery plans for destroyers built during World War II. Repair and dry-docking registers list vessels in dry dock. A card file lists vessels repaired by Bethlehem in New York Harbor between 1939 and 1958. The cards are arranged alphabetically by name of vessel, and then chronologically, with separate cards for each dry docking. There are also seniority lists for the late 1950s.
