ALLEN BOAT

Harvey LA

Most recent update: August 30, 2021.

Allen Boat Company was organized by S. H. Allen in 1940 as a barge operator with its own boatyard: it closed in the downturn of the mid-80s.  The yard was on the Harvey Canal, but where exactly?  If anyone can add to the table below, please send your input to me at timcolton@aol.com
