It's hard to beat our Shipyard. Because we have so many hardnoses. Like Dick Nizzi. A leaderman in our Outside Machinists department. When Nizzi runs a job he grabs hold like a Georgia Bulldog. And if need be he'll chew a few tails, too. Until he's 100% satisfied. Then you know it's right. That's what a top leaderman has to do if he's going to cut the mustard in Savannah. We've built our reputation by being mustard-cutters.Tough, reliable, persistent, and fast. That's the Savannah "edge." We all know major shipyards (us included) have cranes, drydocks,and specialized shops. But all yards don't have dedicated, hard nosed workers like ours. Savannah Machine and Shipyard. We do scheduled drydocking, voyage repairs, and major conversions. And you get Nizzi's nose in the bargain. The Savannah Yard. Savannah Shipyard Co. P.O. Box 787 Savannah, Georgia 31402 Tel.
