Raymond & Associates (LaForce), Bayou La Bâtre AL

La Force Shipyard was established in 1975 by Frankie LaForce to build fishing boats but later broadened its scope to build tugs, towboats and supply boats. Raymond La Force established Raymond & Associates on adjoining property in 2005 and it is all now one yard. See it from the air on Google here: note that the property includes the large hull assembly area across the street from the waterfront yard. The yard is currently idle. Comments or queries, please email info@navalmarinearchive.com.
