Orange Shipbuilding, Orange TX

Orange Shipbuilding was founded by Tommy Clary in 1974 as a builder of tugs and towboats.  In the late 1980s, they moved into government contracts set aside for small businesses, did very well at a time when most shipyards were struggling and were able to sell the business to Conrad Industries in 1997.  Visit the shipyard at www.conradindustries.com and see it from the air on Google here.
