1923 The Scapa Flow Salvage and Shipbreaking Company Limited was incorporated as a private company, with capital of £7,000.[1] It was a local initiative to secure some of the salvage work offered by the scuttling of the German High Seas Fleet in the Orkney anchorage of Scapa Flow. The principal promoter was a Lerwick shipowner and convener of the county of Shetland, J. W. Robertson.[2]
1928 By now the company's name had changed to Robertsons (Lerwick) Limited, the name it bore for the rest of its existence.[3]
2020 The company, long dormant, was dissolved.[4]
