Fraser Shipyards

By jbottero

(2025-12-03)

The Superior Shipbuilding Company was originally called the American Steel Barge Company, and based in Duluth, Minnesota. It was founded by Scottish Captain Alexander McDougall who founded it so he could produce his new whaleback ship, this was Whaleback Barge 101. In 1900 McDougall sold his firm to the American Ship Building Company which transferred the company to Superior, Wisconsin and renamed it Superior Shipbuilding Company, also called AmShip Superior. After World War I the yard stopped manufacturing ships and instead turned to repair work. They continued repairing ships until 1945 when American Ship Building Company decided to sell it. It was initially known as the Knudsen Brothers Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company. In 1955 it was renamed Fraser-Nelson Shipyards then Fraser Shipyards and still exists today.

Port St. Lucie Power Plant Water Intake Incident

An incredibly stupid SCUBA diver moored his boat to a warning buoy and ignoring the clear markings of what lay underneith, decided to check out what was beneath it. The look-see didn't end well, dude was sucked in.

Now, after being oblivious to the close-by clearly visible cooling pond of the Port St. Lucie nuclear power plant, ignoring the clearly marked warning buoy, and getting WAY too close to a 16 foot (16 FOOT!) diameter intake pipe, this imbecile is suing the power company!

As the Slashdot linky suggests, Darwin just missed on this one...
