🎉 CROFTON celebrates our 75th anniversary this year!🎉 Our journey began back in June of 1949, when Juan F. Crofton, a Navy veteran and diver, teamed up with his friend, Ernest "Duke" Morris. Together, they founded Crofton and Morris Diving and acquired a 50-foot wooden workboat named the Cromo, so named because Juan won the toss of a coin. For 19 years, Crofton and Morris Diving served the Hampton Roads harbor with dedication and expertise. From our humble beginnings, we've grown and evolved, but our commitment to excellence and our pioneering spirit remain unchanged. #75Years #Anniversary #CompanyHistory

We're thrilled to support the Multi-Agency Craft Conference (MACC) hosted by the American Society of Naval Engineers right here in Portsmouth, VA!
