Scope and Content Part of river frontage of Clydebank Shipbuilding Yard, Kilbowie, Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire This shipbuilding yard was built in 1870 by J & G Thomson to replace a yard in Govan, whose site was required for harbour improvement. It was extended and rebuilt on many occasions, most notably between 1890 and 1914, and in the late 1950s. This shows the liner 'Queen Elizabeth II' on her building berth, which was laid out for building the 'Queen Mary' in 1931. The tower cranes on the left were installed at that time. This was the last ocean-going passenger liner built in the yard. This yard built the largest classes of ocean liners and warships, including the 'Queen Mary' and 'Queen Elizabeth'. From 1899 to 1968 the yard was owned by John Brown & Co of Sheffield. It became part of Upper Clyde Shipbuilders in 1968 and stopped building ships in 1971. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
