A weavery named Spinning Jenny was planted for the crew Black Opal shortly before the crew left Silver Dawn. Upon their departure, Silver Dawn bought back the construction site deed from the crew for the standard fee (as laid out by internal policy), and the shoppe was dusted almost immediately after its construction was complete.

A distillery named Lassel's Moonshine was owned at separate times by the crews Triton's Might and Neverland, but dusted after the members of Neverland went dormant.

A shipyard named You Buy UM, We Ship UM was constructed for the crew The Unmanageables, but has since been destroyed.
