SHIPS BUILT AT SUNDERLAND IN THE 1880s
May I suggest that you navigate the site re Sunderland data via the index on page 001.
Do you want to make a comment? A site guestbook is here.On this page I will continue to advise such data as I have located about the shipbuilders of Sunderland, U.K. & expand upon the data already available on site.
A list of the Sunderland built vessels referenced in these pages is at the top of page 040.
A list of the Sunderland shipbuilders referenced in these pages is a little lower on page 040.

Corrections in any of the material which follows, however tiny, would be most welcome. And additions, of course!VESSELS BUILT AT SUNDERLAND
1880, 1881, 1882, 1883, 1884, 1885, 1886, 1887, 1888, 1889.
What were the correct numbers for 1880? 'Where Ships Are Born' states 71 vessels & 108,626 tons. I need help to populate a list.

A copy of the 1881/82 'Marine Engineer' was recently sold via e-Bay. That volume would surely contain information useful to this site but does not include a list of ships built in 1881.
1882 (data principally from here (Manual of Shipping; Iron Manufactures; Railways, Docks, Canals; etc. etc. Published 1884) at pages 16 through 30). But with adjustments.

What were the correct numbers for 1884? 'Where Ships Are Born' states 70 vessels & 99,597 tons. While 'The Steamship' (at pages #6 & #22/23) stated 71 ships & the identical tonnage. The output of that year was, I read. seriously reduced as a result of a strike of engineers. However the output of James Laing was close to its 1883 values, & Doxford & Sons increased their output over the prior year, despite the strike. I need help with data. I am missing quite a few ships above. It is possible that 'The Steamship' chose not to list sailing vessels which were built that year, in their detailed list.
1885 (data principally from here ('Marine Engineer', April. 1885 thru March 1886) at pages 257 through 261), but with adjustments. It is interesting to note that a copy of that volume (1885/1886) was sold via e-Bay on Dec. 26, 2008 for U.S. $134.50.

What were the correct numbers for 1885? 45,068 tons & 38 vessels are the values advised on page 304 in 'The Marine Engineer' of Apl.l 1885 to Mar. 1886 (link above). Excluding 'Primula' for reasons unknown. And with no references to any vessels built by Joseph L. Thompson & Sons. But 'Where Ships Are Born' states instead, 46 vessels & 61,761 tons. I need help to tidy & complete the list.
1886 (vessel names are at initially from here at true pages 328 through 331 & also page 373). But the data has been corrected. With tonnages ex Miramar. And other data ex elsewhere in this total site.)

Note: A copy of 'The Marine Engineer' for 1889/1890, Vol. IX, with content fine but a damaged cover, sold for U.S. $51.00 on Jul. 30, 2009. It likely contained an 1889 listing of Sunderland built ships.
