Shipyard

Tosmare is well known mostly because of the Tosmare Shipyard (Liepāja Northern Shipyard since 2020) currently owned by SIA LZK (formerly by Rīgas kuģu būvētava).[1][2] The shipyard was founded in 1900 and has two graving docks, and was used by the inter-war Latvian Navy.[3]

Notable residents

The Latvian poet Mirdza Ķempe lived here in from 1914 to 1926.[4]
