Appearance
G.K. Stothert & Co was a British engineering company primarily known for shipbuilding and repair founded in 1852 in Bristol, England. Initially part of the Bristol offshoot of Stothert and Pitt (which was 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].
