Gretna Machine & Iron Works

Harvey LA

Most recent update: September 30, 2020.

Gretna Machine & Iron Works was established in 1935. Can anyone tell me who the founder was? In 1981, the company was acquired from Dixie Carriers by Trinity Marine Group, who spun it off in 1997 as part of Halter Marine Group. Halter sold it to Bollinger Shipyards in 2000 and Bollinger closed it in 2009. The site, which was on the Harvey Canal, at 4640 Peters Road, has been razed. See it from the air on Google here.
