Doullut & Williams
New Orleans LA
Most recent update: August 24, 2021.
Milton P. Doullut was a steamboat captain, originally from Bordeaux. Famous in New Orleans for developing the 9th Ward's unique "steamboat houses" and the Doullut Market, he teamed up in 1907 with W. H. Williams, an engineer retired from the Army Corps of Engineers, to form a construction company called Doullut & Williams, which they expanded into shipbuilding for the duration of WWI. After the war, Doullut's son Paul and James P. Ewin took over management of the company, which became Doullut & Ewin. The shipyard was at the Lake Pontchartrain end of the Industrial Canal. I am pretty sure that this yard also built tugs and other commercial vessels but I can find no record of them.
