Aktien-Gesellschaft Vulcan Stettin (usually just mentioned as AG Vulcan Stettin or A.G. Vulcan Stettin) was a German shipbuilding and locomotive builder company, located in Stettin (Szczecin). AG Vulcan Stettin played a significant role in both World Wars, building U-boats and warships for the Kaiserliche Marine. The company and shipyard were taken over and scrapped by the Polish government after World War II.

History

AG Vulcan Stettin was originally founded as Vulcan Werft in Stettin in 1851 and the shipyard was a pioneer of large-scale shipbuilding and a leading shipyard in Germany until its demise in 1945.

Its first ship was the iron steamer "Dievenow". In 1857 the shipyard was renamed Stettiner Maschinenbau AG Vulcan, and as larger and larger ships were built, the facilities in Stettin could no longer sustain the scale of the operations.

Thus new facilities were built in Hamburg and Bremen between 1907 - 1909. In 1928 the company went bankrupt and sold its Hamburg shipyard in 1930, but was refounded as AG Vulcan Stettin.

The shipyard was finally taken over and scrapped by the Polish government after World War II.
