GOOLE SHIPBUILDING & REPAIRING COMPANY LIMITED

GOOLE SHIPBUILDING & REPAIRING COMPANY (1927) LIMITED

GOOLE SHIPBUILDERS LTD.

COCHRANE SHIPBUILDERS, SELBY (at GOOLE)

Brief history

The Company was established by the Craggs family to take over the shipyard on the Dutch River previously operated by T. Scott and Company, and continued their yard number sequence beginning with the steamer BIA, yard number 47 in 1902. In 1914 the company leased a 10-acre site on the Old Goole side of the Dutch River from the Aire & Calder Navigation, and production moved there from 1917. The company suffered in the recession and was replaced by the (1927) company from 1927 to 1934, when the old title was regained. In November 1967 the company became a subsidiary of the Swan, Hunter Group (Small Ship Division), and was nationalised in 1978 when it became Goole Shipbuilders Ltd. The yard was closed in April 1984 but was bought later in the same year by Cochrane Shipbuilders, Selby and resumed building until the last vessel, the tug LADY SYBIL was completed in January 1988.
