Cornelius Jantzen Cornelius (shipyard)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Schiffszimmerbaas Cornelius Jantzen Cornelius came from Hooksiel and had leased a plot of land on the Geeste from the Hanoverian government in Lehe since 1821 . In the lease agreement, he undertook to create a slipway for new buildings and to set up a place for the repair of the ships used on the Weser . For this he was allowed to build a house on the five- acre property in addition to the "ship's room yard" and received the sole shipbuilding privilege in this area for 5 years.

CJC Cornelius died in 1842 and his son, who had the same name as his father, took over the yard. He was a master shipbuilder, but as a shipbuilder he hardly came to the fore, as he ran a restaurant and, due to his musical talent, organized theater performances in the garden of his restaurant. The shipyard was mainly used for ship repairs, many small boats and barges were built. Of ships were to 1844 in addition to a Bark a Galiot , a brig and a schooner built.
