Ingalls Shipyard Flourishes on the Tennessee River
Ingalls Shipbuilding Corporation operates the Decatur yard along the Tennessee River as a leading inland shipyard. The plant builds and repairs barges and towboats, with facilities for two dry docks and extensive repair work. Recent contracts include ten cargo barges for Mississippi Valley Barge Line and ten barges for Tennessee Valley Sand and Gravel, plus cement and oil barges, as the yard reports high construction and repair activity and a growing backlog.
