There is a brief history of concrete (ferro-cement) boatbuilding in
"Concrete Boatbuilding, its technique and future" by Jackson and
Sutherland, 1969. The concrete ships built in the USA for World War I
were of conventional reinforced concrete poured into wooden forms.
WWII also saw some construction, they made good warehouses.

The issue of the obscure periodical mentioned in the subject line contains
an article by Eugčne Freyssinet and/or Louis Bréguet - pioneers in
prestressed concrete and aviation, respectively - on the use of prestressed
concrete in shipbuilding. I don't have the exact bibliographic citation.
Does anyone on these lists have access to backfiles of this journal?
