Hull Shipbuilders

C. and W. Earle or Earle's Shipbuilding and Engineering Company Ltd

Charles and William Earle formerly millwrights, founders and general smiths moved into shipbuilding in 1845 by buying Junction Foundry from James Livingston who had built the first iron Steam Packet in 1831. The business continued to expand with more land being purchased and more men employed until 1870/1871 when the brothers died. The Company was sold and became the Earles Shipbuilding and Engineering Company Limited but the trade slump of the 1920 to 1930 led to its closure in 1932.
