Covacevich

The Covacevich Shipyard was founded in 1896 by J. D. ("Jacky Jack") Covacevich, an immigrant from Croatia, and was later operated by his three sons, A. W. ( "Tony Jack") , Oral and Neal. The shipyard stopped building new vessels in 1982 but continued in the repair business until it was destroyed by Katrina in 2005. The site has been razed but you can see it from the air on Google here: it is to be redeveloped as condos. If anyone can add to the table below, which generally includes only those boats that are still included in the Coast Guard database, please e-mail timcolton@aol.com.
