Maxon Marine, Tell City IN
Most recent update: July 17, 2011.
Maxon Marine Industries - originally Maxon Construction - was started in 1944 by the construction company of that name, a leader in the development of cement mixers. The yard was located on land that is now owned by Tell City and operated by Perry County Port Authority as the Tell City River Port. See the site from the air on Google here. A plan to reopen the yard was floated in 2006 but was later (wisely) shelved. Any help in filling the many gaps in the table below would be very welcome: please send any info to timcolton@aol.com.
