Ltd. Louth. 1900 for the Ambas Bay Trading Co. Ltd. Peel Buildings, 5 Harrington Street, Liverpool. 1901 broken up. January 1897 It is perhaps deserving of a passing notice that on the first of January the shipyard was closed in Great Union Street, where the business of shipbuilders and shipwrights has been carried on since the beginning of the century by successive members of the Gibson family. The shipyard and drydock known as the Union Dock were opened in the year 1805 by Mr. William Gibson, who purchased for the purpose part of the old fortifications of the town, which had been razed and sold by the Government of the day. In the war time, at the commencement of the century several battleships were built in the yard; the names of the frigates 'Hyperion' and 'Aurora' survive as the names of two of the adjacent streets, although the vessels themselves have lng since passed away. Susequently many merchantmen were built and launched from the two slips, some of which were of considerable size for those days and were employed in the East India Trade. The 'Tanjore', the 'Isabella' and the 'Berhampore', 653 tons, may be mentioned amongst the number. The last vessel of any size launched from the yard was the barque 'Gardyne', 358 tons in the year 1845, but in the years prior to about 1850, when what is now known as the Queen's Dock, but was then called the Old Dock, was crowded through the winter months with a fleet of Hull owned vessels, which on arriving from their Baltic and South American voyages, or from the whale fisheries, were dismantled and with yards on end and topgallant masts struck awaiting the coming of spring, a large staff of ships carpenters and workmen found constant employment in the Union yard. The firm of Edward Gibson and Son, also owned and occupied another shipyard and dry dock in the Groves, and at this yard, in association with the firm of Clifford and Brown, and under the style of Gibsons, Clifford and Brown, iron shipbuilding was commenced in the year 1845. Unfortuately, the prejudice in favour of wood and against iron sailing vessels had not then been overcome, orders did not come in, and after building a lightship for the Trinity House and the sailing barque 'Eclipse', the yard was closed. The relinquished Groves shipbuilding yard passed into the hands of Messrs. Martin Samuelson and Co. whose first vessels were built forthe Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway Company and were launched from the yard in the year 1854.

August 1866 - The celebrated Confederate War Steamer, 'Sumter', which obtained such notoriety under the command of Captain Semmes, arrived in Hull.

Her present owner Mr T. H. Lyon, intends to present the sum received for permission to view (the charge being 6d per head) to the fund for defraying the expenses of the Hull Volunteer Artillery encampment at Hornsea. After undergoing the necessary repairs the 'Sumter' will be fitted up as a cattle boat, and from the speed, which she attained on her passage from Dunkirk, it is confodently anticipated that she will prove one of the fastest if not the fastest vessel out of the port. The voyage from Dunkirk to Hull was performed in 21 hours, which may be considered remarkably fast, when it is remembered that the 'Sumter's' engines had not been turned for nearly three years.

(Ex Hull & Liverpool Shipbuilding Company.) Martin Samuelson, was born at Hamburg on the 2nd January, 1825, and served his apprenticeship with the shipbuilding firm of Messrs. Caird, of Greenock, Afterwards worked for Messrs. Hicks, of Bolton, and of Sharp, Roberts and Co, of Manchester, and at the Old Ford Waterworks, In 1849 he came to Hull as a marine and general engineer under Martin Samuelson and Co. The Company was enlarged in 1854, when his brother, Alexander Samuelson, joined the firm, the chief work being shipbuilding and the application of steel to marine engineering, as well as the manufacture of hydraulic presses, in place of the old stamper presses, for seed-crushing, the staple industry of Hull. So early as 1856 the firm made steel boilers for use on land. These were for Marriott, Atkinson and Cos works at Sheffield, and were in use for twenty years without any material repairs. During the short space of ten years, no less than ninety-seven vessels, principally steamers, were built in the yard. The works were sold in 1864 to the Humber Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company. Mr. Samuelson then took general engineering works in Neptune Street, Hull, and amongst other work built the North Bridge over the River Hull. This is an hydraulic draw-bridge, which is pulled back into the roadway when required to be opened. He also constructed machinery for the blast furnaces of Messrs. B. Samuelson and Company at Middlesbrough, and travelling rolls for their Britannia Mill, the latter now owned by Dorman, Long and Co. This latter machinery was in regular use until 1892, when it was removed and electric power substituted. The works in Neptune Street were sold in 1873 to Amos and Smith. He was extremely active, even to the day of his death, which took place suddenly at Hessle on the 26th February, 1903. Vessels built include; March 1851 - Advertisment. Martin Samuelson & Co.

Some Information from PDF downloaded from Hull University. Martin Samuelson was born in Hull. On 26th February 1903 he died aged 78 years leaving his second wife, two sons, and two daughters. The deceased was the head of the then Iron Shipbuilding and Engineering firm of Messrs. Martin Samuelson & Co. which commenced business in Hull in 1849 as marine and general engineers, millwrights, and iron and brass founders. In 1854 they extended their premises and added to their already large establishment the iron shipbuilding business. A considerable portion of their shipyard situated at the mouth of the Old Harbour was reclaimed by Messrs Samuelson and Company at great expense. In 1858 they made other additions to the yard, including the South-West angle of the old Citadel and its foreshore, and at that time for complete appliances and extent of building ground there were few establishments to be compared with it. During the short space of 10 years no less than 97 vessels principally steamers were built in the yard, and in 1863 the company built more vessels than any other firm in the kingdom. On the occasion of the visit of Lord de Gray and Ripon to receive the High Stewardship in October of 1863, Messrs Samuelson launched from their yard four fine vessels, before a distinguished gathering, on the same morning. The firm had also some engine works in Scott Street, and in 1864 the business was sold to the Humber Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company, Limited. June 1910. An important development in shipbuilding is anticipated at Hull. Negotiations are at present in progress for the purchase by a London firm of the old shipyard at the mouth of the River which belonged to Messrs. Baily and Leetham and which latterly was leased to Messrs. Cook, Welton and Gemmel shipbuilders. Messrs. Martin Samuelson and Co. formerley used it as a ship building yard, and its position on the Humber for building or repairing is most favourable. In the past as many as four ships have been launched from this yard on the same tide. Humber Iron Works & Shipbuilding Company. Aquired by Martin & Alexander Samuelson & Co. Shipyard 1864.
