| 摘要： | The New Orleans maritime community, family and friends of William T. "Bill" Bergeron are celebrating his life, while also mourning his loss, following his death February 2. A native of Poydras, La., in St. Bernard Parish, and a legend of the New Orleans maritime industry, Bergeron died at his home, surrounded by his wife, Joyce Bergeron, and his daughter, Tiffany Bergeron Cook, following a lengthy battle with kidney failure and a recent diagnosis of lung cancer. He was 73 years old. If Bergeron would've retired from his career in the maritime industry in his mid-20s, he would have already cemented his legendary status. At just 23 years old, Bergeron was awarded the contract to build the Steamboat Natchez. He did so despite having neither experience building ships nor a shipyard in place to do the work. |
