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'.

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'.
