It may be added that the record monthly output from Clyde ship yards was in June, 1908, coinciding with the launching of the Cunar- der Lusitania and the battleship Agamemnon the total that month being 128,074 tons.
No other shipbuilding river in the world has ever surpassed that record Clyde output.
