Newport Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. was owned by the Bailey family who, in 1953, took over an abandoned shipbuilding yard in Newport. This led to the formation of Atlantic Shipbuilding Co. in 1953.

Shipbuilding

  • 1950s - The yard almost immediately received orders for three Great Lakes traders for Canadian companies. This led on to coasters ordered for the Cuban Government.
  • 1960s - The yard then built trawlers for British and Ghanaian companies. The yard then got into financial difficulties and was restructured under new owners as the Newport Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. Shipbuilding ceased in 1970.
