The shipyard traces its origin to 1920, when Yaroslavsky Shipyard was founded after early boatbuilding activity in the city. Its own history describes wooden river and marine craft in the 1920s and 1930s, wartime production of boats armed with Katyusha rocket launchers, and a postwar reconstruction that expanded the plant into larger marine work.
From the 1950s through the late Soviet period, Yaroslavl moved from smaller craft into medium freezer trawlers, Project 502 and 503 fishing vessels, Project 745 and 1454 seagoing rescue tugs, Project 10410 border patrol ships, Project 1241-2 small anti-submarine ships, and Project 14460 amphibious craft. The modern product page still emphasizes mixed civil and government work: tugboats, emergency-rescue support vessels, dredging-support craft, fast boats, air-cavity boats, hovercraft, diving vessels, tankers, trawlers, and other specialized river and sea vessels.
For naval catalog purposes, Yaroslavl is most visible as a production yard rather than a single design bureau. Russian ship references list it as the yard for the Project 07452 Chusovoy intelligence ship and for three named Project 21820 Dyugon landing craft, including Denis Davydov, Leytenant Rimskiy-Korsakov, and Michman Lermontov. Those records connect the inland Volga shipyard to Russian auxiliary, landing, and special-purpose naval hulls without making conflict-use claims on this manufacturer page.
