SNEED SHIPBUILDING

Orange TX

Most recent update: July 31, 2020.

Sneed Shipbuilding was established by Martin Sneed, in 1964, on the site in Orange that was previously the Harms-Smaihall Shipyard.  He later added a large repair facility in Channelview and started building tank barges there in about 2000.  The company failed in 2017 and the Channelview shipyard was sold to San Jac Marine. The Orange shipyard continues: see it from the air on Google here.
