The facility was initially established in 1916. It was one of the original nine emergency yards funded by the U.S. Maritime Commission during WWII, becoming one of the largest employers in Southern Alabama while producing Liberty Ships and T-2 Tankers for the war effort. Over the years the shipyard has employed thousands of people, including Jimmy Buffet, his dad JD Buffet, and Hank Williams Senior. Alabama Shipyard is a fully-equipped facility and a fundamental part of Mobile’s history. Our team is dedicated to upholding Mobile's longstanding tradition of first-class service on the Gulf Coast.
