How did they do it?

Clelands Shipbuilding Company, established in 1866 by William Cleland, stood as one of the UK's leading yards. Located at Willington Quay in Wallsend, the shipyard quickly earned a reputation for producing high-quality merchant ships & warships.

Transition & Growth: In 1967, Clelands was acquired by Swan Hunter. This move bolstered the yard’s capabilities & resources, allowing it to take on more ambitious projects, such as the luxury yacht Charisma A. The yard's integration into Swan Hunter marked a period of expansion & modernization.

The new Chairman's involvement was high and the yacht took shape with exacting standards. Rolls-Royce engines were added on, and the raised foredeck, a unique design choice, allowed for a principal suite that spanned the full width of the hull, providing uninterrupted access to the foredeck. The build progressed and she was swiftly launched later in the year.

Later, Clelands faced another major shift in 1977 when it became part of British Shipbuilders through nationalization. This era saw the yard subsumed into a larger conglomerate, and it continued producing notable vessels for the next six years. However, the pressures of the global shipbuilding industry and economic challenges eventually led to the yard’s closure in 1984.
