1913 The Nicholson Steam Tug and Salvage Company Limited was incorporated as a private company, with capital of £10,000, to carry on business as steamship owners, steam tug owners, and salvage contractors.[1]

1915 The company bought the old shipyard at Inverkeithing for £900, with the intention of establishing repair shops, and to use the yard for the breaking up of vessels. If found practicable, tugs might also be built there.[2]

1919 The company went into voluntary liquidation.[3]
