About
Smith Maritime was founded in 1968 by Captain Latham Smith, who built the company's first oceangoing boat, the tug ELSBETH, on the Miami River in Florida. He later built the tugs ELSBETH II (1987), ELSBETH III (1998) and RHEA (2002) at the company's shipyard on the St. John's River in Green Cove Springs, which builds new vessels and maintains the fleet. These tugs have three engines each, shallow hulls and heavy reinforced 1/2 inch plate.
The derrick barge DIXIE DRIVER was acquired in 2006 and rebuilt at Morgan City, followed by the semi-submersible barge ELVIS (2009) and the deck barge MARILYN MONROE (2012). The company employs 40-60 people.
