1926 Obituary
"It is with regret that we have to record the death of Mr. Walter W. Denholm, the shipyard manager of Workman, Clark and Co., Ltd., which took place at Belfast, after a protracted illness, on Thursday, November 11th. Mr. Denholm was widely known, both in Belfast and also on the Clyde and his loss will be keenly felt. It was at Glasgow that he received his education, where, after an outstanding scholastic career, he was apprenticed to the shipbuilding firm of D. and W. Henderson and Co Ltd., of Meadowside. On completing his term of apprenticeship, Mr. Denholm was engaged for some time with the Alloa firm of Mackey Bros., and later he joined William Denny and Brothers, Ltd., at Dumbarton. In the year 1911 his first connection with Belfast began, when he entered the ship drawing-office of Workman, Clark and Co., Ltd. He possessed unusual abilities, which were not slow to be recognised, and at an early date he became the assistant manager and later the manager of the firm's North Yard. Last year he was appointed to be the manager of both the North and the South Shipbuilding Yards. Mr. Denholm was a member of the Institution of Naval Architects and of the Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders in Scotland."
