Shipwrights Records

The History

A  shipwright builds ships

Since the inception of metal ships often the skills are interchangeble with a boilermaker.

What records can you find?

The modern records centre at Warwick University maintain the archives of trade union records including the various shipwright  unions.

These items are not yet anline so a personal visit or hire of a resercher will be needed.
