We are grateful to Sam Henderson, co-author of the book, Fishing Boats of Campbeltown Shipyard, for these photos of the buildings at Campbeltown Shipyard Ltd, which were taken after the yard closed in 1998. We’ve also added Art Bowbeer’s cutaway drawings which were published in Campbeltown Shipyard: A New Dimension c. 1981 (see below) to let you compare Sam’s photos with how the spaces at the yard were organised during it’s heyday.
