Campbeltown Shipyard to re-open???

by **hoots the scoop** » Fri Jan 04, 2008 8:56 pm

Did anyone else see the advert in the classified adds of Fishing News, 14th December, from "Campbeltown Shipyards ( Argyll )" tendering to build new stern trawlers from 90ft (£3.5m) to 150ft (£6m).

???

Heard this too. Seems a rather strange advert...

Does this mean the Hall is opening again? :wink:

apparently whoever owned the shipyard has kept the name but are building boats up in the east coast,
i was puzzled masel when i read it but did a bit of enquireing about it and that's what i was told.

Surely our MEP should campaign for the enforcement of the EU Directive which states - as Champagne must come from the Champagne region of France and Jerez Sherry must come from Jerez in Spain, etc, then surely Campbeltown Boats should be from Campbeltown :wink:

what's the connection between the Hall and the Shipyard? what's happening with the Hall anyway, is it going to be a hotel again or just a mausoleum forever more? and wouldn't the old shipyard site be a better place for a/the marina??

try to keep up boaby

i was only ever in the hall once and i lived round the corner for seven years, as for the shipyard, hope they don't try to cash in on the good name for build quality?
