Appledore Shipbuilders is a shipbuilder in Appledore, North Devon.

History

The Appledore Yard was founded in 1855 on the estuary of the River Torridge.[1] The Richmond Dry Dock was built in 1856 by William Yeo and named after Richmond Bay in Prince Edward Island, where the Yeo family's shipping fleet was based.[2]

The business was led by Philip Kelly Harris[3] during the early part of the 20th century and known as P.K. Harris & Sons until 1963 when it became Appledore Shipbuilders.[4]

In 1964 the Company was acquired by Court Line, a shipping and airline business.[5] A new shipyard was built on a greenfield site in Appledore at a cost of about £4m opened in 1970.[5] Court Line collapsed in 1974 and Appledore Shipbuilders was nationalised and subsequently subsumed into British Shipbuilders. By the late 1980s the only yards still held in state ownership were the smaller Appledore and Ferguson yards.[6] In 1989, Appledore Shipbuilders was sold to Langham Industries.[7]

In the late 1990s the two square-rigged sail training ships of the Tall Ships Youth Trust, the Prince William and the Stavros S Niarchos, were completed at Appledore, by performing substantial modifications to two bare hulls begun in Germany.[8]

Appledore built two Róisín class patrol boats for the Irish Naval Service: {{ship|LÉ|Róisín|P51}} was completed in 1999 and {{ship|LÉ|Niamh|P52}} in 2001.

In 2010, Ireland ordered a further two, 90m, 23 knot offshore patrol vessels from Babcock with an option for a third, to be built at Appledore. The first Samuel Beckett-class OPV was commissioned in May 2014. In June 2014, the Irish government took up the option for the third ship to be built at Appledore (delivered in 2016) and ordered a fourth in 2016 (to be delivered in 2018) [9]

In October 2003, the Appledore shipyard went into receivership,[10] and in early 2004 was acquired by DML, the operators of Devonport dockyard.[11] The company was reconstituted as Appledore Shipbuilders (2004) Limited and was run by the DML subsidiary DML Appledore. During this period the yard's main activity was the installation of machinery packages and other systems for luxury yachts for Devonport Yachts Ltd.[12]

In June 2007, Babcock International Group acquired DML, including its operations at the Appledore Shipyard, renaming them Babcock Marine Appledore. A Royal Navy contract secured 300 jobs in Appledore until 2015.[13] The Appledore yard has constructed elements of the two Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers. Bow sections for {{HMS|Queen Elizabeth|R08|6}} were completed in April 2010 and were barged to Rosyth Dockyard for integration with other modules.[14] The yard then built flight deck sponsons and centre blocks for Queen Elizabeth.[15] From 2012, Appledore built similar sections for Queen Elizabeth's sister ship {{HMS|Prince of Wales|R09|6}}.[15]

Babcock announced in November 2018 that it had no future for the shipyard and it closed on 15 March 2019.The last vessel to be built at the yard was the LÉ George Bernard Shaw (P64) for the Irish Naval service. [16][17]
