  • Shipbuilders to the World: 125 Years of Harland and Wolff, Belfast 1861-1986’ by Michael Moss and John R
    SHIPBUILDERS TO THE WORLD Introduction The following is extracted and slightly edited from the book ‘Shipbuilders to the World: 125 years of Harland and Wolff, Belfast 1861-1986’ by Michael Moss and John R. Hume published in 1986. The book was intended as a celebratory appraisal of the firm and as such focused mostly on the development of the shipyard. Although it was Edward Harland that began the firm, my interests are more familial than commercial and so the extracts below highlight the roles played by my great, great uncle Wolff and his uncle Gustav Schwabe. Moss and Hume write: During his apprenticeship Edward Harland had become friendly through his uncle, Dr. Thomas Harland, with Gustav Christian Schwabe. Thomas Harland had graduated in medicine from the University in Edinburgh in 1822 and had subsequently practiced in Salford. In 1842 he had married Mary Dugdale, niece of John Dugdale of Dovecot, a powerful Liverpool and Manchester merchant. Some years later Gustav Schwabe had married John Dugdale’s daughter, Helen (right). Gustav had been born in Hamburg in 1813, the son of Philipp Benjamin Schwabe, a wealthy Jewish merchant. During June 1819, along with the rest of his family, Gustav was baptised into the Lutheran church (source Staats Archiv Hamburg). In the 1820s many members of the Jewish community in Hamburg established businesses in Britain where trading conditions were more liberal than in Germany. The Schwabe family participated in this trend. Salis Schwabe, Gustav's uncle, set up a calico printing business in Manchester and cousins M. M. and H. L Schwabe opened a merchant house with a branch in Glasgow.

  • Navy News Week 35-2
    NAVY NEWS WEEK 35-2 27 August 2018 Russia debates giving up on building helicopter-carrier ships for its Navy Meduza 14:48, 20 august 2018 There‟s some confusion in Russia‟s shipbuilding business about whether or not the country is done trying to build helicopter carriers. Russia‟s industry and trade minister, Denis Manturov, said in an interview with the news agency Interfax on August 20 that these projects, “in a pure sense of the word,” are over, though the Navy will retain a few such ships. (Manturov added that Russia is still discussing the construction of a second aircraft carrier.) Almost immediately after the interview was published, however, a “high-placed source in Russia‟s shipbuilding industry” told RIA Novosti that the Defense Ministry hasn‟t yet made up its mind about the future of helicopter-carrier construction in Russia. In June 2017, Viktor Bursuk, the deputy head of Russia‟s Navy, said the country planned to acquire two helicopter-carrier ships and complete work on a new aircraft carrier before 2025. Moscow wanted to buy two Mistral-class helicopter-carrier ships from France, but the deal fell through in 2015, following the annexation of Crimea. Those vessels, built for Russia, were ultimately sold to Egypt.

  • The National Shipbuilding Strategy: January 2018 by Louisa Brooke-Holland Update
    BRIEFING PAPER Number, 9 January 2018 The National Shipbuilding Strategy: January 2018 By Louisa Brooke-Holland update Summary The Government published a National Shipbuilding Strategy in September 2017, fulfilling a commitment made in the 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review. The Strategy completely overhauls how the Royal Navy will procure and build its new fleet of general purpose frigates. The Government has already committed to a fleet of eight Type 26 frigates, the first of which will enter service in the mid-2020s. The Shipbuilding Strategy focuses more on the five cheaper frigates, the Type 31e. The Government remains committed to building Navy warships in the UK but the design and build will be open to competition rather than via a non-competitive single source contract with BAE Systems. Exportability will be built into the design of the new Type 31e frigate fleet, to counter the Navy’s poor record in exporting new ships. Lastly, the strategy sets out an aggressive timetable with the main contract to be placed in early 2019 and an in-service date of 2023 for the first in class for the Type 31e. The Royal Navy is in the midst of a major programme to replace and renew its surface warships. Six new destroyers (Type 45) entered service in the first half of this decade and the first of two new aircraft carriers, HMS Queen Elizabeth, was formally commissioned into the fleet in December 2017. The focus now is on the Navy’s frigate fleet and that is the subject of the National Shipbuilding Strategy.

    The long drawn of death and grieving process of the British Shipbuilding Industry in perspective 1960 1980 A long term view Duncan Philip Connors University of Cambridge European Business History Association Annual Conference Athens 24th August 2011 1 INTRODUCTION Eleven years ago Hugh Pemberton argued in Public Administration for the integration of the ' policy networks of Martin Rhodes with the social learning theories of Peter Hall (Pemberton, 2000, Hall 1993 and Rhodes, 1992, 1994, 1995 and 1997). Pemberton stated that the conventional 'Westminster' model is restricted in its ability to comprehend subtle administrative nuances and yet the policy network alternative of Rhodes is in itself restricted in its ability to deal with the typology and internal dynamics (Pemberton 2000, pp. 771-772). Pemberton therefore proposed to integrate the policy network model with the work of Hall on social learning a complex to developed a nuanced schema that would incorporate Rhodes network classifications with a the Hall model of change (Pemberton 2000, pp. 772-776, see also Rhodes, 1997 pp. 36-37, Hall, 1993 pp. 281-287). However, with the development of the varieties of capitalism literature and in particular the institutional complementarities proposed by Hall in the early part of century there is scope for further development of Pemberton's ideas beyond his Treasury centred view of the 'Keynesian Plus' period of economic policy in the early 1960s (Hall & Soskice, 2001, Howell, 2003, Morgan, 2005 and Hancke, Rhodes and Thatcher, 2007). This paper will demonstrate the relevance of Pemberton's model to current debated using recent research into industrial policy under the Harold Wilson Labour government of 1964-1970 by focussing on the failure of the Shipbuilding Inquiry Committee and Shipbuilding Industry Board to prevent the collapse of the British shipbuilding industry.
