Hudson Shipbuilders (HUDSHIP), Pascagoula MS                                              

Most recent update: November 4, 2011.

HudShip was founded by Wendle Huddleston, in the facility on the east bank of the Pascagoula River, immediately north of Highway 90, that had been F. B. Walker & Sons.  See it from the air on Google here.  About 1981, they acquired the H. B. Marine yard on the west bank of the Pascagoula River, immediately south of Highway 90, the yard which is now Signet Shipbuilding: this yard was acquired for construction of larger OSVs but probably only built four - hulls 89 thru 92.  The company closed  in the mid-1980s.  If anyone can provide any more information or can add to the table below, please e-mail me at timcolton@aol.com
