FW Green

FW Green

FW Green was shipbuilder based in Bristol, England, during the 19th century, constructing ships at Tombs' Dock in Dean's Marsh from 1815, after taking over the site from Waring & Fisher.

Ships were built at the head of the drydock and launched through it into the River Frome. The most well known ship built by FW Green was the "Clifton", launched in 1835, a large 579 ton East Indiaman, which sailed under the flag of its builder. The yard closed in 1883.
