Welcome

This site provides an illustrated history of shipbuilding at Berwick upon Tweed from its beginnings in 1751 to it’s revival in 1950 and final closure.

Originally launched in 2007 the website was given a major refresh in December 2021 allowing information, photographs and links to be added. It is

hoped that the site will continue to grow and provide a reference point for those interested in finding out about origins and development of the

shipbuilding industry at Berwick.
