1.0 Introduction

Shipyard or dockyard is a place where ships are built and repaired. These can be
yachts, military vessels, cruise liners or other cargo or passenger ships. Dockyards are
sometimes more associated with maintenance and basing activities than shipyards,
which are sometimes associated more with initial construction. Most shipbuilders in the
United States are privately owned, the largest being Huntington Ingalls Industries, a
multibillion-dollar defense contractor, and the oldest family owned shipyard being
Colonna's Shipyard in Norfolk, VA. The publicly owned shipyards in the US are Naval
facilities providing basing, support and repair.

and is the oldest continuous family owned and operated private shipyard in the United
States. Founded in 1875 by Charles J. Colonna, a 26 year old ship carpenter with limited
resources, the early business was limited to pier-side repairs. Within 2 years, Charles had
added his first marine railway powered by two horses that had a lift capacity of about 40
tons, and he was off and running. Although over 143 years old, Colonna’s Shipyard
continues to maintain its commitment to modernization, making the capital investments
