Wartime Construction - Other Gulf Coast Yards


This table lists boats and barges built in wartime by other boatbuilders on the Gulf Coast.  For most of these shipyards I have little or no information, in some cases not even a location.  If anyone can tell me anything helpful about any of these yards - who owned them, where exactly they were located, what happened to them - please e-mail timcolton@aol.com.
