From Graces Guide

Brown Street, Port Glasgow

1926 The Port Glasgow Shipbuilding Company Limited was incorporated as a public company, with capital of £58,680, to carry on the business of builders, designers, and repairers of sailing and steam vessels, war vessels, floating docks, pontoons, etc.[1] The new company took over from the business of Murdoch and Murray. Certain of the subscribers were also directors of the Clyde Shipbuilding and Engineering Co, another Port Glasgow firm with which Murdoch and Murray had been closely associated.[2]

1930 The company had by now given up the business and the yard contents were auctioned over three days in January.[3]
