Trinity Industries, Ashland City TN (Barges)

(formerly Nashville Bridge Co., Nashville TN and Ashland City TN)

Most recent update: January 6, 2012.

Nashville Bridge Company, (NABRICO), was originally a bridge builder, founded in the 1890s.  It was converted to shipbuilding in 1915 and, by the 1960s, it was said to be the world's largest builder of inland barges.  George Steinbrenner bought it in 1969 and added a second yard in Ashland City in 1977: he sold the company to Trinity Marine Group in 1995.  Trinity closed the Nashville yard in 1996, when the City of Nashville decided that the downtown shipyard property would be more valuable to the community as a stadium.  The shipyard remains active in Ashland City as a builder of inland tank barges.  Being part of Trinity Industries, it does not have a web site.  You can see the yard from the air on Google here.  This table, which is not complete but is about as complete as I can make it, lists its record of barge construction: click here to go to the table that lists its construction of self-propelled vessels.
