John Lewis & Sons
John Lewis was born in Aberdeen in 1837 and worked as a ship’s carpenter before starting his own boatbuilding yard at Cove, just outside Aberdeen in 1870. By 1876 he moved to Point Law on Albert Quay in the Aberdeen Harbour. The vessels were constructed in wood, the largest at 80 feet, as well as several 55ft vessels for Shearer of Shetland as well as smaller craft. The latter included salmon cobles for the Balmoral Estate, as well as small ferries for use in the Harbour at Aberdeen.
