1942 The Shipbuilding Corporation Limited was registered. It was formed by British shipbuilders to carry on shipbuilding for Government account at yards reopened or to be reopened during the war.[1]
The yards brought back into production were at Low Walker, Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Southwick, Sunderland. The yards were both closed again after they ran out of work in 1947.[2]
