George Green (shipbuilder)

George Green (1767 – 21 February 1849) was a ship builder from Blackwall, London.

Green served his shipbuilding apprenticeship with John Perry on the largest dock on the River Thames at the Blackwall Yard, repairing and building ships primarily for the East India Company.

Green died in 1849 and was buried in Trinity Congregational Chapel, in Tower Hamlets, London.

After George retired in 1838, Richard took over with step-brother Henry to form R & H Green's until 1907.

In 1910 the company amalgamated with Silley Weir & Company, as R.& H. Green and Silley Weir Ltd, which constructed and repaired munitions ships, minesweepers, hospital ships and destroyers during the First World War.
