St. Charles Steel Works, Thibodaux LA

Noah Bourgeois of Thibodaux established the St. Charles Steel Works in 1955. In 1967 it was renamed St. Charles Fabricators and started a new series of hull numbers but in 1973 it reverted to the original name and the original series of hull numbers. It closed in 2003. The yard was on Bayou Lafourche, at 1666 Highway 1, a site which is now vacant. Comments or queries, please email info@navalmarinearchive.com.
