Halter Equitable, New Orleans LA

(Formerly Higgins Industries and Equitable Shipyards, now Trinity Yachts)

Most recent update: April 20, 2013.

The Equitable yard in New Orleans was  Halter's ninth shipyard, acquired by Trinity in 1985, converted to aluminum boatbuilding and spun off as part of Halter Marine Group in 1996.  Halter closed it in 2000 and stripped it of all its equipment.  The lease on the property was later sold to an investment group led by John Dane, together with Trinity Yachts, which was, at that time, wholly enclosed within the Equitable site, which was located on the west side of the Industrial Canal, just north of I-10: see it from the air on Google here.  See also the tables for Higgins Industries and for the two Equitable yards.  If anyone can add to the table below, please send your data to timcolton@aol.com
