INVERCLYDE SHIPBUILDING

This website serves as a resource for all things to do with the Shipbuilding industry of Inverclyde. A proud history that boasted the oldest family run shipyard in the world and the most productive.

I dedicate this site to my father Denis Gillen; a Scotts' Man all his days, my godfather Tommy (Vincent) Rutherford, my friend and mentor William Kane and all the shipbuilders I have spoken to over the years.
