The company became the biggest employer of Turku after acquiring the nearby yard Åbo Skeppswarf in 1883. Crichton died in 1889, after which the operations were continued by investors. In 1896 the company started a new yard in Okhta, Saint Petersburg, to build ships for the local market. The operations were poorly organised, and both yards lost so much money that the entire company went bankrupt in 1913. A new company, Ab Crichton, was established in 1914 to continue shipbuilding in Turku.
