Madisonville LA
Most recent update: December 24, 2021.
There were two shipyards in Madisonville LA before Equitable started the yard that is there today - Jahncke Shipbuilding and Gulf Shipbuilding. Jahncke SB was started in 1900 and closed in about 1970, while Gulf SB was started at about the same time, was acquired by Waterman Steamship Lines in 1941 and closed after the war. The two yards were located side-by-side on the site of the 19th-century Baham Shipyard, roughly where Madisonville's Maritime Museum is today.
