The area once supported shipbuilding and was the site where the [[Spanish Navy]]'s ship of the line ''' Princesa''' or [[HMS Princess (1740)|HMS Princess]] was built in 1730–1731. However it is the town's name, [[El Astillero]], that reflects the shipbuilding industry.

Near the village the modern [[Astilleros de Santander]] shipyard is located, but performs repairs, conversion and upgrades only.
