Philip & Son

Philip & Son was a shipbuilder in Kingswear, near Dartmouth, Devon, England. Operating from 1858 until the late 1990s, the company provided employment opportunities for nearly 141 years for many people of Dartmouth. It was Dartmouth's last industrial shipyard.
In September 1942 the shipyard was hit by Luftwaffe bombs – an attack in which 20 men were killed. The shipyard survived and continued to operate until the late 1990s, when the demise of the British shipbuilding industry eventually caused the yard to close its doors in 1999.
