Alexander, American Marine

Alexander, American Marine Corp, New Orleans LA

Lester F. Alexander started this shipyard on the east side of the Industrial Canal in New Orleans, immediately south of the I-10 bridge, before World War II. It was bought by Les Durant, a Webb-trained naval architect and rig designer, in 1955 and renamed American Marine Corp. The yard was a pioneer of the offshore industry, building not only the famous "Breton Rig 20" and John LaBorde's early submersibles but also the first supply boats for Tidewater. After the collapse of the offshore industry in 1982, it transitioned into being more of a repair yard and was bought by Trinity Industries in 1995. Trinity moved a Panamax floating dry-dock from its Beaumont TX yard to this facility and spun it off as part of Halter Marine Group in 1996 Halter sold it to Bollinger in 2001, but it was badly damaged by Katrina in 2005 and closed permanently in 2007.
