Aberteifi a’r Môr 1

Yn ôl tystiolaeth Dr J. Geraint Jenkins yn ei lyfr Maritime Heritage: the ships and seamen of Southern Ceredigion, Gomer, 1982:

tudalen 111 “The port of Cardigan and, to a lesser extent, the riverside village of St. Dogmaels, developed into a very important shipbuilding centre and flourished tremendously, particularly during the first half of the nineteenth century. The following entries in nineteenth century Directories indicate how important the industry was in Cardigan.”

Ond wrth edrych ar ffurflenni’r cyfrifiad yn ystod y 19 ganrif, mae llawer mwy o enwau yn dod i’r golwg. Dyma ddarlun cywirach felly o’r niferoedd oedd yn gysylltiedig â’r diwydiant adeiladu llongau a’r diwydiannau atodol yn hanes tref Aberteifi.
