HistoryOriginsThe roots of Wilton-Feijnoord date back to 1825, when the Maatschappij voor Scheeps- en Werktuigbouw Fijenoord was founded, incorporating the Nederlandsche Stoomboot Maatschappij established by Gerhard Mauritz Roentgen in 1823.[3][4] This company would later merge with NV Dok en Werf Maatschappij to become Wilton-Fijenoord. NV Dok en Werf Maatschappij traces its origin to 7 January 1854 when the blacksmith Bartel Wilton, a house and stove smith, founded his own smithy at the Baan in Rotterdam. Soon he also took on other assignments, such as ship repair, and his smithy grew into a company with more than 35 employees within a few years. In 1876 Wilton, as a subtenant, was able to seize a piece of land behind the parade ground of the militia on the Westzeedijk, measuring 7700 square meters and located on the Maas. In this area a small harbor was constructed with a bank slope, so that small river ships could be repaired here. Soon the center of gravity of the company came to lie on the Westzeedijk. In times when repair orders were scarce, Wilton started to build steam boilers. On March 4, 1895, the sons Bart and John Henry Wilton took over the business from their father. Bart was a businessman, and John Henry a technician who had been trained as a shipbuilder in Delft.[1] Since Dutch shipping companies had insufficient confidence in the indigenous industry and were used to ordering their steamers in Great Britain, to break this deadlock, Fijenoord, which had only experience in the construction of steam engines, had to build a big vessel on speculation. Around 1880, this strategy proved to be successful. During the First World War Fijenoord made high profits, which were used to upgrade their facilities in Schiedam. In 1929, NV Dok en Werf Maatschappij Wilton-Fijenoord was established by merger of NV Maatschappij voor Scheeps- en Werktuigbouw Fijenoord and NV Dok en Werf Maatschappij of Rotterdam. During the 1930s crisis, the shipyard suffered substantial losses. A notorious problem for the Dutch yards before the Second World War, was the lack of design capabilities. Accordingly, Wilton-Fijenoord had to buy the vessel designs from independent design companies and developed only the detailed structures. By a cartel agreement, four Dutch yards including Wilton-Fijenoord formed a joint design office in 1935. As a contractor, the yard contributed mainly its expertise in organizing the construction of ships.[5] In 1999, Wilton-Fijenoord was integrated into Rotterdam United Shipyards. In 2003, the company was acquired by Damen Group. Ships built
