Mangone Shipbuilding, Houston TX

(formerly Anchor Boat Works, later Mangone Swiftships)

Most recent update: May 9, 2012.

Mangone Shipbuilding  acquired Anchor Boatworks in the mid-1960s: it failed in 1981, when the offshore market collapsed, and was acquired by Swiftships, but closed permanently a year later.  It was located at South 80th Street and Brays Street, in the Magnolia Park section of Houston: see the shipyard from the air on Google here.  If anyone can add to the table below, please e-mail timcolton@aol.com.
