Charles Mark Palmer Brothers & Co Willington Quay

The Shields Daily Gazette 28/06/1860 stated "About three months ago the enterprising firm of Messrs Palmer, Brothers & Co, to meet the increased demand made upon them for iron ships, purchased the building-yard formerly occupied by Messrs Coutts, Parkinson & Co, Howdon. In that short time the place has undergone a complete change in its machinery, buildings and general arrangement. The Company launched their first vessel from this yard - a handsome screw, built for the firm to carry ironstone from Port Mulgrave, which name she bears, to their blast-furnaces at Jarrow."
Palmers' Willington Quay shipyard was to the right of the Tyne Iron Shipbuilding Works noted on the above map.
