Scope and Content Pointhouse Shipyard, Glasgow This yard, at the mouth of the River Kelvin and launching into it, was founded in 1862 by A & J Inglis, marine engineers, to build hulls for the engines and boilers they were building in Anderston. They added a boiler works in 1873-8. This shows the interior of the top floor of the woodworking shop of the yard. The woodworking shop was a remarkable building, with wrought-iron girders and cast iron columns giving large unobstructed floor areas, as seen here. The top floor seems to have been the mould loft. The yard, which built and repaired many Clyde steamers, was taken over by Harland & Wolff during World War I. They closed it in 1962, and it was demolished in 1965-6. The woodworking shed was destroyed by fire in 1965. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
