Leevac Industries (Zigler Shipyard), Jennings LA

The Zigler company goes back to 1913 but apparently only started to build marine equipment in 1956. It was acquired by the Vaccari family in 1965 and renamed Leevac Shipyards in 1982 and Leevac Industries in 2002. In 2012, it was renamed Leevac Shipyards Jennings, to differentiate it from Leevac Shipyards Houma, the former Quality Shipyards. In 2015 the company's assets were bought by Gulf Island Shipyards, which closed it in 2020. Visit the company at www.gulfisland.com. The shipyard is on the west bank of the Mermentau river, just south of the Highway 90 bridge: see it from the air on Google here. If anyone can fill any of the gaps in the table below, please email info@navalmarinearchive.com.
