Richter's shipyard
The Johann Jakob Richters shipyard was a shipyard in Hamburg whose shipbuilding site was next to the von Sommschen shipyard on the Großer Grasbrook and had to be abandoned in 1853 due to the port expansion.
JJ Richters founded a shipyard on the Großer Grasbrook in 1820, which mainly served the overhaul of sailing ships . Newbuildings, barges and briggs with 70 to 170 loads were also built at his shipyard almost exclusively for Hamburg shipowners such as JC Godeffroy, M. Schau, J. Oldrey or the Südsee-Fischerei-Compagnie. Two ships, the Bark Adolph and the Schoonerbrigg Kehrwieder , were built at the Richters Werft for Johan Cesar Godeffroy , the largest Hamburg shipowner at the time . The Kehrwieder , sailing under Captain JHF Parow , sank off Cape Town in the autumn of 1865. The Bark Hamburg with 170 loads was Richter's largest new build, it was delivered to the Südsee-Fischerei-Compagnie and was used for whaling in the South Seas .
