Summary
[edit]DescriptionThree Sunderland-built ships on the River Wear.jpg |
English: The cargo ship ‘Harpagus’ being towed to the fitting out quay after launch by William Doxford & Sons Ltd, 24 September 1957 (TWAM ref. DS.DOX/4/PH/1/823/3/4).
The image also shows the cargo ship ‘Errington Court’ being fitted out at the Southwick Yard of Austin & Pickersgill Ltd and the ‘Dona Katerina’ built by Doxfords. Tyne & Wear Archives is proud to present a selection of images from its Sunderland shipbuilding collections. The set has been produced to celebrate Sunderland History Fair on 7 June 2014. It's a reminder of the thousands of vessels launched on the River Wear and the many outstanding achievements of Sunderland’s shipyards and their workers. These photographs reflect Sunderland’s history of innovation in shipbuilding and marine engineering from the development of turret ships in the 1890s through to the design for SD14s in the 1960s. The Sunderland shipbuilding collections are full of fascinating stories. Some of these are represented in this set, such as the ‘Rondefjell’, launched in two halves on the River Wear by John Crown & Sons Ltd and then joined together on the River Tyne. The set also shows the vital part that Sunderland’s shipbuilding industry played during the First World War. William Doxford & Sons Ltd built Royal Naval destroyers such as HMS Opal, which served in the Battle of Jutland, while other yards constructed cargo ships to help keep these shores supplied.
