Todd Shipyards, Houston TX

(formerly Brown Shipbuilding)

Most recent update: July 31, 2010.

Todd's Houston shipyard was originally the WWII emergency yard Brown Shipbuilding.  Todd bought it at the end of the war and operated it as a barge construction and repair yard until 1987.  Until recently it was operated by Brown & Root (now KBR) as a topside construction facility.  It was sold piecemeal to multiple buyers in 2004.  See the site from the air on Google here.
