Standard Shipbuilding Co
From Graces Guide
1916 Standard Shipbuilding Co bought the yard of Edward Finch and Co with funding from a consortium of other shipyard owners. The first task was to modernise the yard - a new venue was found just downstream of the Finch yard. The company was then renamed Edward Finch (1916).
1918 Government funding provided to build some Standard Ships[1]
1920 A group of investors, the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Co and the Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Co wanted to buy the yards[2] but problems arose concerning the tax situation; eventually they formed Monmouth Shipbuilding Co to acquire the yards [3]
