The Liveried Company of Boatbuilders in Zolt, a commercial maritime construction company established as part of the fleet expansion programme of the Benacian Union during the 1720's after Norton.
Founded in VII.1724 AN at a site adjacent to the dockyards of the Maritime Forces of the Benacian Union in Zolt, the company received its livery and charter from the Guild of Artificers after securing funding from the Society for Benevolent Investment. In spite of being ostensibly a private venture, the initiative and impetus for the expansion of ship building at Zolt clearly laid with the Commission for War and the High Presidium of the Benacian Union.
The planned facilities would centre around a boatbuilding hall, drydock, and four slipways for naval construction. Work commenced on the construction of the site within the month of its establishment, indicating the extent of official backing, including the assignment of penitents from the Benacian Labour Reserve to expedite completion.
