Our
Company
Established in 1916, Harbor Custom Canvas was the first ship’s
chandlery and sail making shop in the Los Angeles Harbor. Today, the
business continues a long-standing reputation for quality that dates back
to those early days of canvas sails.
Our Business
The art of canvas making is truly an ancient one, dating back to well
before the time of Christ. Today, as in days of old, the only way to
really learn the trade is to start as an apprentice, and devote your
working life to the goal of learning from a master. We can honestly say
that this business has been passed down from master to apprentice from its
inception.
Our Mission
As the owner of Harbor Custom Canvas, I want to assure all of our
customers that the traditions of quality, honesty and integrity this
company has stood for will be upheld and improved wherever possible.
Having worked for Harbor Custom Canvas under the tutelage of Don Shearing
for over 23 years, I promise our customers that I will carry on the
traditions we have established. We look forward to working with you.
