Ryton Marine, Davy Bank
From Graces Guide
Ryton Marine Ltd owned three covered berths, two of 220 feet in length and one of 280 feet in the early 1970s. The berths were then fitted out for shipbuilding on the North bank of the Tyne at Wallsend.
- The yard only made one ferry (Freda Cunningham) and then two small stern trawlers. A tug was then made for the Clyde and the last vessel was the Cowes ferry Netley Abbey for Red Funnel Steamers Ltd, Southampton in 1974.
