Chronology Dates
| / /1934 | Scotts Shipbuilding & Eng Co Ltd Scotts swap their Cartsdyke Shipbuilding Yard (Cartsdyke East) for Mid Cartsdyke Shipbuilding Yard (owned by the Greenock Dockyard Co Ltd). This allowed Scotts to create a shipyard which combined, from west to east, Cartsdyke Graving Dock, Cartsburn Shipbuilding Yard and Mid Cartsdyke Shipbuilding Yard. (The mid yard had been located between two Scotts owned sites.) |
