Preservation
Fitzgerald Shipyard has performed restoration to significant maritime vessels.
The ‘Luna’ is a 103-foot, 1930’s tugboat is Listed on the National Historic Register and represents the most advanced diesel-electric technology of its day. It is "first and now the last surviving" in technology and materials of the tugboats of this size afloat on the U.S. Gulf and Atlantic Coasts of more than the 1000 wood-hulled tugs constructed during that era.
 The ‘Luna’ is an ongoing project and Fitzgerald Shipyard has performed hull restoration, installed new decks, main deck, pilot house and preservation of machinery space to exhibit technology of the era for the Luna Preservation Society.
