Cook, Welton & Gemmell was a shipbuilder based in Hull and Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire. England. They built trawlers and other small ships.

History[edit]

Founding and move to Beverley[edit]

The firm was founded in 1883 on South Bridge Road, Hull, on the Humber bank.[1] The founding partners were William James Cook, Charles Keen Welton and William Gemmell.[2] In 1901–1902 the business moved nine miles up the River Hull to a new yard at Grovehill, Beverley purchased from Cochrane, Hamilton & Cooper. The yard had been founded by Andrew Cochrane in 1884.[3] It was one of the few shipyards that launched broadside.

Prosperity and decline[edit]

The new yard initially produced trawlers and whalers with dredging of the River Hull allowing larger ships to be built.[4] During both world wars it built large numbers of ships such as minesweepers and anti-submarine trawlers for the Royal Navy. Between the wars it consolidated its reputation as a builder of high quality trawlers and continued to prosper into the 1950s. In 1954 the shipyard employed 650 workers and built 15 vessels (including three minesweepers, four trawlers, and a tug), but by 1960 the workforce had declined to 600 and after struggling to find orders Cook, Welton & Gemmell built their last ship in 1962 and went into voluntary liquidation in 1963.[5]

Changes of ownership[edit]

The firm was taken over by Charles D. Holmes & Co in March 1963 and the company name changed to Beverley Shipbuilding and Engineering Co Ltd.[4] C D Holmes was subsequently taken over in July 1973 by Drypool Group, which in turn went into liquidation in 1975.[5] The yard was then taken over by Whitby Shipyard Ltd on 1 July 1976. That company changed its name to Phoenix Shipbuilders Ltd in December 1976 and had a receiver appointed in May 1977,[6] resulting in the closure of the Beverley yard with nearly 180 redundancies.[4] The site reverted to the ground landlords, Beverley Borough Council, and was later developed as the Acorn Industrial Estate.[7]
