Hudson Shipbuilders (HUDSHIP)

Hudson Shipbuilders (HUDSHIP), Pascagoula MS

HudShip was founded in 1978 by Wendle Huddleston, with Travis Short, Sr., as General Manager. The yard was on the east bank of the Pascagoula River, immediately north of Highway 90, on the site that had been F. B. Walker & Sons. See it from the air on Google here. In 1981, they acquired the H. B. Marine yard on the west bank of the Pascagoula River, immediately south of Highway 90, the yard which is now Signet Shipbuilding: this yard was acquired for construction of larger OSVs but probably only built four - hulls 89 thru 92. The company closed when the offshore market collapsed in 1983. If anyone can add to the table below, please email info@navalmarinearchive.com.
