In 1809 Amos apprenticed his great-nephew William Camper, and by 1821 the yard was building small trading ships. As Amos had no children, after his death in 1824 his nephew Camper took over the lease on the yard.

However, the outbreak of the Crimean War in 1854 heralded a decline in Camper's career. In 1842, 14 year old Ben Nicholson joined Camper's yard as a shipwright apprentice.
