Ship on Launch, New Quay

An apt name for a pub in a boat building village like New Quay.  It was opened by former harbourmaster James Davies in the 1840s. 

The Ship on Launch was located on Church Street and 'Its front door was said to fit so badly that there was always a terrible draught which, it was believed locally, eventually caused the death of the innkeeper from pneumonia’

Now a private house called Pennard
