About this episode

This episode explores the shipyard at Swan Island, its ownership, and its significance in ship repairs and maintenance.

The shipyard at Swan Island So many times over the years I have said on this show that a ship is headed for "the shipyard at Swan Island." Today we'll take a closer look at that facility, who owns it, and why it has, for many years, been a great place to take a ship that is in need of repairs and maintenance.
