| Fishing Boats of Campbeltown Shipyard The boatbuilding industry has always had its ups and
downs, reflecting the changing fortunes of the fishing
industry. Campbeltown Shipyard diversified its
boatbuilding activities in order to survive but
competition from foreign yards moved into a new dimension
from the mid-nineties onwards. In addition,
decommissioning, restricted days at sea and shrinking
quotas have left the Scottish fleet a shadow of its
former self. However, by the middle of the first decade
of the twenty-first century, things were beginning to
look up for the remaining vessels, including several
survivors of the boats built by Campbeltown Shipyard.
Today the empty buildings which once comprised the
shipyard betray no trace of the hive of activity which
once existed there and produced some of the most
successful fishing vessels ever built in Scotland, yet
with former boats still turning impressive performances,
the fishing industry will long remember the fishing boats
of Campbeltown Shipyard.
