TRINITY
Full Speed Ahead for Trinity Yachts
Trinity Yachts, LLC has moved one ) nearly completed yacht and four of their partially built yachts over to their new production facility in Gulfport, Miss. These yachts were towed through the Intracoastal waterways that are strewn with sunken or damaged fishing and pleasure boats left over from Hurricane Katrina. According to John Dane III, President of Trinity Yachts, “The last eight weeks have been very hectic since hurricane Katrina stuck, and with the Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show quickly approaching, we really haven’t had a chance to pause and reflect on how far we have come. But two weeks ago when the first hull was hoisted out at the new facility and we began the continuation of manufacturing, it was a good feeling, especially when you consider what we have all been through here.” The modern shipyard based in Gulfport, MS., has over 9 acres/3.6 hectares (392,040 sq. ft./119,493 sq. m) of covered building area situated on approximately 50 acres/20.5 hectares of land. This new facility combined with the existing 10 acres/4 hectares (435,600 sq. ft./132,770 sq. m) of covered buildings on 38 acres/15.5 hectares at the New Orleans yard, (the New Orleans yard will be retained as their Repair and Refit shipyard), provides Trinity Yachts with a very large capacity to create up to 8-10 megayachts annually for the yachting industry and the capability to build up to 400 ft. (122 m) in length. The Gulfport main construction building has a height of 90 ft. (27

Feature: The Jewel of the Industrial Canal
By Larry Pearson The Industrial Canal in New Orleans is aptly named. Connecting a tributary of Mississippi River with Lake Pontchartrain, it is much like a boulevard of broken dreams. Remnants of old shipyards, coffee-roasting facilities operating at half capacity and areas where the oil boom flourished and died dot the banks of the canal. However, in the dozens of cream-white buildings once operated by the huge Equitable Shipyards built in the 1940's to produce the famous Higgins
