From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Pitcher (1745-1837) was an English ship-builder who had a shipyard in Northfleet.
Pitcher founded the Northfleet Shipyard in 1788, which he owned until 1816, when the business was taken over by his sons Henry Jones Pitcher and William Pitcher.[1] The Northfleet Shipyard was one of the largest on the Thames, where Pitcher and Sons built East Indiamen and warships for the Royal Navy.[2] The business also had a shipyard in Blackwall, where repairs were carried out.
