Historic Interest
The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the Ship's licence was issued in 1853. Whether this was when it was first licensed or when it got a full (ie not just beer) licence isn't clear, though the latter seems more probable. Severe fire in about 2002 In March 2009 three popular riverside pubs on the Orwell & Deben were bought by Suffolk brewer Adnams from national pub operator Punch Taverns. The Butt & Oyster at Pin Mill & the Ship & Levington, both a short distance outside Ipswich, & the Maybush at Waldringfield, near Woodbridge. The building probably dates back to the 14th century.
