From humble beginnings at Fairlie, Ayrshire, in the early years of
the nineteenth century, William Fife and Son grew to become one of
Britain's premier yacht-building yards, attracting commissions from
as far afield as America, Canada and America. By the time the yard
closed on the eve of the Second World War, three generations of the
Fife family had been responsible for the design and building of
almost a thousand yachts - crafts that were recognized world-wide
as the epitome of elegance and design. This memorable story of
enterprise and craftsmanship chronicles the development and
progress of the Fife yard and its business during its 125-year
history. It includes a vast wealth of information on the yachts
themselves, and is interspersed with lively anecdotes about the
family, their clients and their craftsmen, making it an essential
addition to the literature on Scotland's maritime past. May Fife
McCallum, a descendant of the founder, has had privileged access to
private papers, business records and photographs. Over many years
she has researched this archival material and also recorded the
reminiscences of family friends and of local people personally
associated with the yard and its workforce.
