Description:
Houston shipyard owner Richard Bludworth of Bludworth Marine talks about growing up in his family’s shipyard, learning his complex trade, and the community of maritime workers that make Houston one of the world’s largest and most vibrant ports. A fine story teller, he relates some great on-the-job experiences, his love of the sea, why he likes working with “pirates,” and his pride in his home city of Houston. Bludworth is one of more than 50 Houston ship channel workers interviewed for the OFP “Working the Port of Houston.”
