Metal Shark Alabama

Bayou La Batre AL

Metal Shark Alabama is the former Horizon Shipbuilding, which was acquired by Metal Shark Boats in 2017 and was itself the successor to Owen-Short Marine. t has two yards, facing each other across the bayou, Horizon having bought the old Offshore Trawlers yard in 2013 and developed it for aluminum boatbuilding. In 2017, however, Horizon lost badly on a contract for New York City, had to file under Chapter XI and was bought by Metal Shark Boats.
