Appearance
G.K. Stothert & Co was a British engineering company primarily known for shipbuilding founded in 1852 in Bristol, England. Initially a Bristol offshoot of Stothert and Pitt (at that time named Stothert, Slaughter & Co.) based in St Phillips, it became a separate company in 1852 under the control of George Kelson Stothert upon moving to Hotwells. Subsequent partnerships were formed with Fripp (1855-1859) and Marten (1859-1866); after that, George Kelson Stothert held sole control until 1899. The business remained in operation under his name until 1933, although shipbuilding stopped in 1904[1].
