The Clydebank shipyard built some of the most famous vessels in maritime history. Its heritage boasts of great transatlantic liners like Lusitania; Queen Mary; and QE2; as well as iconic warships like the battlecruiser Hood; and Britain's last battleship; HMS Vanguard. Beginning as J G Thomson in 1847; the business acquired its more famous persona when Sheffield-based steelmaker John Brown Co took over in 1899. As a result; the yard became known for turning out first-class products; both naval and mercantile.
