Shipbuilder: Edward Lindsay, St Lawrence (1867 - 1878)

Shipbuilder: George Lindsay & Co, Mushroom (1881 - 1882)

Shipbuilder: Edward Lindsay, Bill Quay (1889 - 1889)

Edward Lindsay built ships at St Lawrence, Newcastle, near the Mushroom Landing.
He had a gridiron and patent slips, as well as the capacity to build in wood or iron. In 1879 he is listed as a 'Barge and Boatbuilder'. However the 1891 Lloyds Register Appendix says 'no longer a shipbuilder'.
George Lindsay & Co appeared to take over the business between 1881 and 1882.
Later users of the site were probably the Browns and then the Anderson & Partner firms until about 1894. By the turn of the century shipbuilding had ceased there and the site today is under the City Quayside extensions, near the Spillers Mill.
