Naupert Werft

[Kri2202]

Hello everyone

I apologise I'm writing in english; I'm from Italy and I need you help, if you can.

I'm searching information about a ship built in Germany, Lemwerder, in 1922. The ship is now in Italy and I'd like to write her whole story. The name now is Huntres,, but I guess her original name was Licia (or Licia II).

I know she was designed by Ing Naupert, and built in Naupert Werft, but in the website I can't find any information about this shipyrd. Someone can help me giving me some information?

Thanks a lot and happy new year !

There is only few information about Naupert. A good source about the little boatyards alongside the Weser is written by Heinz Janssen, "Boots- und Holzschiffbau an der Unterweser". 2007 edited by Hauschild, Bremen.

Naupert lived from 1895-1980 and established his boatyard beneath A&R in Lemwerder in 1919. He closed his yard in 1923 after 4 years and worked later as engineer at Bremer Vulkan, Vegesack, just across the Weser. He seems to be a better engineer than an economic specialist...


Happy new year

It sounds very interesting.

I guess Huntress is the only 10 meters long ship Naupert built, and she's very peculiar, and the information you give to me seem to confirm my idea.

Thanks a lot also for the book, I'll search for it.

Thanks a lot for your precious help

Hello again

Do you know the class? Some photos and the measurement makes the search easier, too.

Best regards

Hallo Kri,

about Emil Naupert you kann read a few words in the Book "Boote, Yachten und Kleinschiffe aus Bremen" von Klaus auf dem Garten. Erschienen 2012 im Hauschield-Verlag. ISBN-Nummer 978-3-89757-469-4. The Book is written in german.
Unfortunately there is nothing written about the boats of Emil Naupert. Only about himself.

I Think, it was a very small boatyard, which existed only 4 years between 1919 and 1923.
I have never heard or read from her boats here in Germany.

What kind of boat do you have?

Some Pictures, the class and some measurements would be good for motivation our readers to write something for you.

best regards

Hello Mr. Reinhard

thanks a lot for your help, I'm very happy I found this forum, it's very precious for my researches.

Huntress is a shipping vessel 15,5 lenght over all, nowadays is a yawl but in the beginning I guess she was a bermudas cutter. I'm not the owner, he is an italian architect. Huntress is in Fiumicino harbor.

I'd like to share with you all the information I have, I'm sorry I'm not good in english and I can't wrote nor speak in german. I found a Naupert project in Yachtsportmuseum: in "Die Yacht" 1921 Heft: 11 Seite: 174 you can find a drawing by Naupert of a Turenkreuzer 12,90 m. I guess this boat is Huntress.
I think is possible she can be registered in DVS jahrbuch 1923, but unfortunately the scans are not on the website.

I have some good pictures of Huntress today, but just one picture of her in the past. I'd like to find out other pictures, if they exist.

I know Huntress was built by Naupert because of her measuring certificate, is a very interesting document from Sweden.

Sorry for my english, hope you can understand my words

Interesting, in Yacht 1920 Heft: 32 Seite: 481 (http://www.fky.org/prestodata/record.ph ... 20-32-0481) it's written that Naupert founded his Company together with W. Meyer, a former production engineer from A&R. It seemed that Meyer withdrew in 1921 (Yacht 1921 Heft: 6 Seite: 98), when the boatyard moved and when it was enlarged to 12000 sqm.

He dealed with used boats (Yacht 1920 Heft: 32 Seite: 3, and others) and offered a serial production of small dinghies (Yacht 1921 Heft: 5 Seite: 14). When Naupert closed his boatyard, Inflation in Germany was on its Peak.

I neither found these Information in Janssen nor in auf dem Garten, only in the archive of the Yacht Magazine.

[Kri2202]

Die Yacht is really full of useful information. The scanned pages helped me in find first information about Ing Naupert, and you are helping me very much, thank you.

Do you think is possible Ing Naupert built only one boat 12,90 meters long?

I'd like to show you some Huntress pictures, how can I edit them in this forum?

Thanks a lot!

[rw]

Yes, I think it's possible. Naupert started as a regional boatyard (and never exceeded this prominence).

At this time typical local sailing boats were "Grünhagenjollen" (for example: http://www.fky.org/restaurierung/restau ... skling.htm), small "Jollenkreuzer" und "Kielschwertkreuzer". A 10m boat was a large boat at this time (you can compare it with the production list of A&R of this time, http://abeking.com/fileadmin/user_uploa ... his_01.pdf)

[Kri2202]

So what can be the class of Huntress when she was built?

You all are very kind with me, I'll ask you one more question.
I'd like to find out the first owner of this boat and her first name. I know she was built in 1922 in Naupert Werft and she was measured in 1946 in Stocholm. In 1946 her owner was Birger Lundstrom.

In wich way do you think I can find the original owner? I tried to search Huntress in the scans and lists in Yachtsportmuseum, but I can't find anything.

Thanks a lot one more time
