Details: With the sale by auction to-day of Callen s slip at Stockton, what was one of the most flourishing shipyards of the early windjammer days of Newcastle passed out. The founder, Mr. Peter Callen, who Died some months ago, came to Stockton about 1865 and was employed for some years at O Sullivans slip. With his three brothers, Messrs. Michael, Austen and Harry Callen, he built a slip near the old Stockton Colliery. About 1888 the partnership was dissolved, and Peter Callen built the slip that went out of existence to-day. For 30 years this slip was well known. Among the vessels built were the Fearless, a smart tug boat that did service for many years in this port, and the Dauntless and Magdalene, steamers for the Port Stephens timber trade. The Aggie, a small ferry boat built at this yard, was recognised as one of the smartest vessels on the harbor. The Dawn was another smart steamer built at Stockton for the Works Department. The last vessel built by the late Peter Callen was the Idante, a steamer of 200 tons register, completed about 1916. From 1888 to 1908 was a particularly busy, period for Callon s slip. Many lighters were built. Many sailing vessels visited Newcastle during this period, and Callon s slip was in great demand for new spars and repairs. Sometimes 60 shipwrights were employed at the yards. With the passing of the sailing ships and the advent of large steamers the necessity for small shipbuilding yards at Newcastle disappeared, and very little work has been carried out in recent years at the slip
