Montrose Shipbuilding and Engineering Co

This yard launched ships into the Montrose basin and was based between the Tay and Aberdeen. It was established in the mid 19th century and mainly made coasters, trawlers and barges. However, in 1892 the Montrose Shipbuilding Co. was set up and built passenger ship and coasters.

• 1919 - The yard's title was changed to London and Montrose Shipbuilding and repairing Co. Ltd and built coasters.
• 1923 - The yard went into voluntary liquidation along with many other yards who were affected by the slump in orders in the early 1920s. No further work was undertaken at the yard until 40 years later when two trawlers were built for John Lewis and Sons of Aberdeen.
