Greenville MS

Most recent update: June 7, 2014.

Marine Welding & Repair Works Inc., was founded in 1947 by brothers Bill and Bilbo Williamson. In 1959, they were joined by Joe Williams and the same year acquired Greenville Manufacturing & Machine Works. Later Williams bought out the Williamsons and changed the name to Mainstream Shipyards and Supply Inc. The yard closed in 1990, when Williams retired.
