RICHARDSON, DUCK & Company Limited

(initially SOUTH STOCKTON IRON SHIPBUILDING COMPANY, then RICHARDSON, DUCK & COMPANY from 1853 to 1912)

THORNABY (South Stockton)

1852 - 1924

 

The South Stockton Iron Shipbuilding Company was established on the former yard of engine builders Fossick of Stockton in 1852 to build the first iron ship on the Tees. However, before ADVANCE was completed the yard was bought by Joseph Richardson and George Nixon Duck.

Two vessels (indicated by **) were sub-contracted out to the former Rake, Kimber yard at Middlesbrough (see separate list), but in 1859 that yard was taken over by Richardson, Duck until its sale in 1862. Vessels built at this Middlesbrough yard are marked *.

Yard numbers up to 100 are unreliable and some may not be correct. Smaller vessels may not have been allocated yard numbers.
