Appleyard Lincoln & Co (Boatbuilders) Ltd.

[Appleyard Lincoln & Co (Boatbuilders) Ltd. houseflag] image by Eugene Ipavec, 17 June 2009

The story of ‘Appleyard Lincoln & Co (Boatbuilders) Ltd’ (Ely, GB) is found at http://www.orcharddelight.co.uk/index.html. Quote from ‘Appleyard & Lincoln’ section (upper menu):

“Appleyard’s Boathouse, built in 1877 at Ely in Cambridgeshire, was taken over in 1946 by Harry Lincoln and became Appleyard Lincoln & Co (Boatbuilders) Ltd. During the next sixteen years they built over a thousand wooden constructed boats of which Orchard Delight was the last. Harry, whose name was associated with innovation and quality, was a pioneer of Glass Reinforced Plastic to which they switched in 1962. They went on to build over a thousand GRP boats before he retired.”

A design of theirs, the Elysian, would – after a slow start - prove to be very popular: it is easy to find these boats described and offered on the internet.

Shown on the website as a drawing, the wharf's pennant was yellow traversed by a green horizontal stripe; near the hoist was placed a yellow lozenge, outlined green, containing green initials ‘AL’ (no serifs).
