SHIPBUILDINGTM FUSION
Two Leith Yards To Unite
One of the most important de- velopments during recent years in the shipbuilding industry of the Fast of Scotland was announced in the official intimation that
Messzs Henry Hobb, Ltd., Laith, have concluded arrangements for the purchase of the goodwill, plant, and buildings of the old- established company of Messrs Ramage and Ferguson, Ltd.
The Ramage and Ferguson yard adjoins Messrs. Robb's Victoris Shipyard, and the additional plant will enable Messrs Robb to extend their activities considerably.
Behind the transaction lles a interesting industrial romance. Be fore Mr. Henry Roob founded, in 1913, the business which bears his name, he was for nearly five years in charge of the shipyard of Messrs Ramage and Ferguson.
Naval Contracts Hope Messrs Ramage and Ferguson were then almost wholly engaged
on Admiralty work, and the new company hope, with the additional facilities to be in a position to bring back to Leith a share of Ad- miralty contracts.
Messrs Ramage and Ferguson were in business for half & cen- tury, and during that time built many well-known cargo and pass enger vessels and luxuriously equipped yachts.
Every effort will be made under the new regime, it is stated, to re- vive the yacht-building industry for which the Firth of Forth formerly enjoyed a high reputation. One vessel of this type was launched from the Victoria Shipyard last
year.

Pioneer Vessels
Messrs Henry Robb are one of the most enterprising concerns in Scotland.
On several occasions they have played the part of pioneer, and within the last two years they had the distinction of building such notable motor ships as the British Coaster and the Atlantic Coaster, the two largest and fastest motor | vessels in the British coastal trade, Within the last two months they have booked orders for three ves sels, including another motor COSE- ter, larger than either the Britishr Coaster or thé Atlántié Conster.
Other work; recently booked in cluded a tug and salvage vessel for the Manchester Ship Canal Com- pany and a special type trawler for the Admiralty.
