# List of ships built at John I. Thornycroft & Company, Chiswick

This is a list of ships built by John I. Thornycroft & Company at the yard at Chiswick, England. Production of larger ships moved to the yard at Woolston in 1904 and production at Chiswick ceased in 1909.

## Ships and boats

Some early boats are not yet documented online. A large part of the information has been provided by the Miramar Ship Index (www.miramarshipindex.org.nz) through a Wikipedia partnership. However, the official lists of vessels built by Thornycroft (at both Chiswick and at Woolston) are available in the unpublished (but officially recognised) Thornycroft List of 1981 researched and compiled by the late David Lyon with assistance of Thornycroft personnel and the company's archives.
| Completed | Name | Yard No | Tonnage | Description |
| 1862 | Nautilus | #1 | | This small steam launch of 9.5 knots was Thornycroft's first vessel, begun in 1859, when he was just 16. In 1862 it was the only boat that was able to follow the rovers of the University race, giving Thornycroft some publicity. |
| 1863 | Ariel | #2 | | There may have been two Ariels. Banbury (page 283) lists a wooden launch as Yard No. 2, while The Engineer of 4 November 1870 describes a steel yacht "built some time ago". |
| 1863 | unnamed punt | #3 | | 10 ft works Punt. |
| 1863 | Slaney | #4 | | Steam launch. The Royal Museums at Greenwich have the plans, but not much else is available online. |
| 1866 | Waterlily | #5 | | Iron launch, capable of 7.8 knots. Preserved as part of the National Historic Fleet. It was used by Thomas Thornycroft, father of John I. Thornycroft. |
| 1866 | Idler | #6 | | Steam Launch. The Royal Museums at Greenwich have the plans, but not much else is available online. |

Engineering had two articles in 1873 about a vessel from that year, length 16 metres (53 ft) and with a speed of 16.46 knots (18.94 mph). The 1873 yacht was apparently sold to Russia and converted into a torpedo boat. |

Engineering had two articles in 1873 about a vessel from that year, length 16 metres (53 ft) and with a speed of 16.46 knots (18.94 mph). The 1873 yacht was apparently sold to Russia and converted into a torpedo boat. |
