By Greg Trauthwein

In 2009, Italian shipbuilding giant Fincantieri S.p.A, purchased the assets of the Manitowoc

Marine Group; which included Bay Shipbuilding Company. Located in Sturgeon Bay, Wis., Bay

Shipbuilding was the “feather in the cap” with their long history in U.S. commercial shipbuilding and repair.
