PLATZER BOAT WORKS

Houston TX

Most recent update: March 24, 2016.
The Platzer shipyard was originally on Clear Creek, in Kemah, but relocated to Greens Bayou in 1925.  From the 1970s on, it was essentially a builder of tank barges and was sold to Trinity Marine in 1993.  Trinity sold it to First Wave Marine in 1997, which operated it as a repair yard until it closed in 2002.  See the shipyard, which was at 14000 Industrial Road, from the air on Google here.  If anyone can add to the table below, please send your info to me at timcolton@aol.com.
