Title | The Wivenhoe Shipyard - Otto Andersen Catalogue |
Abstract | Divided into 11 sections, with a few loose pages at the back. Many (most?) of the vessels in here were not actually built by Otto Andersen, but by their predecessor companies and their associates, such as Forrestt, G. Rennie at Greenwich, Chalmers at Rutherglen.
BOXD1_003 is another copy of this catalogue, but with some pages omitted. A few pages are in different sections.
BOXV_022 is similar.
There is no indication of the publication date [Otto Andersen owned the yard 1925 to 1930]. |
