THE SUNDERLAND SITE - PAGE 142

SHIPS BUILT BY
1 - JOHN BLUMER
& EARLIER & LATER NAMES &
2 - WM. BYERS or BYERS & CO.

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. Test.

On this page I will continue to advise such data as I have located about the shipbuilders of Sunderland, U.K. and 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.

The 'Blumer' & 'Byers' shipyard listings can respectively be found here & here. The build lists on this page are far from complete. Many later vessels need to be added re 'Blumer' & the same is surely true re 'Byers'.

Copyright?

Corrections in any of the material which follows, however tiny, would be most welcome. And additions, of course!

VESSELS BUILT BY BLUMER

JOHN BLUMER (1855/1859)
PACE, BLUMER (1859/1864)
BLUMER AND COMPANY (1865/1890s)
J. BLUMER & CO. (1890s?/early 1900s)
J. BLUMER & CO. LTD. (early 1900s/1927)
JOHN BLUMER AND CO.

The list which follows is a list of 'Blumer' built ships - commencing in 1859. Probably incomplete & to be added to as new data is located. 

Miramar list of 9 pages, (highest hull number on page). It used to be that you could click on the links that follow & get to the relevant Miramar page. But no longer! The new procedure must be to go to Miramar (here) & log in (you must be registered to view any page). And once you are logged in, return to this page & all the following links should work for you:- 29, 60, 91, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 258. (258)

VESSELS BUILT BY WM. BYERS or BYERS & CO.

Now 'Byers' is not the most prominent of shipbuilders in the history of Sunderland. And build lists are yet to be created & put on site for a great many of the more well known shipbuilders. So why is it that 'Byers' rates a build list today? The answer lies in the fact that Tom Purvis, of Sunderland, has provided data about some additional ships built by 'Byers' & my problem is where to put that data, when it relates to vessels NOT yet WWW researched & listed on site. This page is my conclusion of the best way to proceed at this moment.

It would seem that the yard was, until a date in 1849, at Folly End, Monkwearmouth, & then a site at North Sands.

I include the vessels of which I have even minimal data - probably a small portion of the total. And have since added to the list as more data surfaces. Miramar does not at present list vessels built by 'Byers'.
