Description

J. Samuel White & Co. Shipbuilders by David L. Williams & Richard P. de Kerbrech

J. Samuel White & Company was the oldest firm on the Admiralty List, building 252 ships for the Royal Navy alone. The yard’s closure in 1966 ended 300 years of shipbuilding, during which time the Company gained acclaim from mercantile and naval customers alike. Illustrated with photographs of these and many of the Company’s other products, maritime authors David L. Williams and Richard de Kerbrech tell the story of J. Samuel White and its subsidiary concerns, a business built on a reputation of quality which earned it the slogan; ‘White’s built – well-built!’
