Commercial and Private vessels produced by J. Samuel White's
- nowhere near a complete list, most of the info has come from the Internet -so treat it with caution !!
Special thanks to Tony Richardson for allowing me to use the information he compiled.
Other lists :- Naval Ships - Lifeboats
In 1803 Thomas White moved, with his family, from Broadstairs in Kent to Cowes. Over the following years, Thomas and his sons ran individually and in partnership various shipyards at East and West Cowes. It was in 1860 that all the yards were combined under the name 'J.Samuel White'. So, strictly speaking, vessels built before 1860 were produced by shipyards operated by members of the White family, not by 'J.Samuel White'.
See this other page for the White family shipbuilders of Vectis Works Cowes and White Brother, Itchen Ferry (no connection to J. Samuel White's family).
