history

The shipyard was founded in 1827 by the shipbuilder Detlev Friedrich Schedelgar and was acquired by Johann Heinrich Finck after his early death in 1832. After Finck's death, the shipyard was continued by his son-in-law, Hans Jacobs.

When Hans Jacobs died in 1896, the repair business was initially maintained by his widow until 1897 and the yard was then passed on to the eldest son and later namesake, Johann Hinrich Jacobs. He resumed shipbuilding and made the last wooden ewer that year with the 75-tonne Wangula , before converting the shipyard to the construction of iron and later steel ships. In 1904 the steel Ewer Elfriede , now in the museum harbor Oevelgönne in Hamburg - Övelgönne , was built. As with other shipyards in this region, the Jacobs shipyard was affiliated with an inn . While the company initially continued to work successfully, the order situation in the period shortly before the First World War became increasingly difficult due to competition from the expanding Dutch shipyards. Around 90 Ewer had been built by 1914, the Petrine (64 RT) and the Margareta (77 RT) were among the largest.

After the First World War, only three ewer were built and then existing ships were motorized and converted. The conclusion and climax of a phase of increased construction activity before the Second World War was the Kümo Käthe Theunert, built in 1939 for the owner A. Theunert, with a bearing capacity of 320 tons. From 1949 to 1952 one last ewer was built for the fruit farmer Otto Plüschen. The drum , which carries 15 tons, was the last of around 100 ships of this type built at the Jacobs shipyard. Until the company closed at the end of 1959, repairs and conversions, in particular extensions of existing Kümos, were carried out. In 1960 the inventory and property of the traditional shipyard were sold.
