Wolff & Zwicker Iron Works was an American ironworks and shipbuilding company located in Portland, Oregon from about 1893 until it went into receivership in 1900. Its plant was destroyed by fire on June 22, 1902.[1] It built three of the early torpedo boats, the USS Davis, the USS Fox, and the USS Goldsborough for the United States Navy.
