PROSPECTUS.
This
Company has been formed for the purpose of pur-
-Bh-lling and extending the valuab e and old-established
ltbuilding and Engineering Business of Messrs. Smith
1:13._ Rodger, Glasgow, a firm well known on the Clyne, dur-
ing the last quarter of a century, as successful builders.
There is probably no branch or industry which has been more
rlfitable in Scotland during the last few years than ir..n
(VP-building, and when the great advantages possessed by
I.logew and its vicinity are considered, the rapid and in-
s eaBlll, expansion of the trade in that neighbourhood is not
urPrising.
„„iThe Clyde possesses great advantages, compared with the
the ames, in the lesser cost of coals. iron, and wages ; while
skill and industry of the scotch artisans are universal y
`c.icuowledged.
The Directors have made a provisional Contract, by which
they_ have secured, under a very fa'ourable arrangement,
the business of Messrs. Smith and Rodger, including the
whole of their building yard. engineering premises, plant,
,t,ools, goodwill, and connexion, as welt as the benefits arising
Irom valuable existing contracts, lobe paid for partly in cash
and partly in shares of the Company.
The partners of the firm have agreed to join the Board of
Direction, thus giving the Company the advantage of their
taluanie influence and experience, and as the entire staff of
the arrangement referred to, the Company will be enable'
to enter immediately upon a business in full and profitable
operation.
Although several Shipbuildin a' Companies have been
established in the vicinity of London and Liverpool, whose
v',,Perations have been attended with great success, the bust-
on the banks of the Clyde has hitherto been exclusively
reeled on by private enterprise, and the large fortunes
accumulated by Scotch shipbuilders are .a guarantee of
pt might be expected from the workng of a Com-
POssessing ample means and influential body of Di-
'lle immense impetus given to iron shipbuild;ng by the
4.lllraerous Steamship Companies recently established under
Limited Liability Act. which will require vessels of great
(re and power for trading to all parts of the world, will un-
eubtedi
Y Prove a constant source of highly remunerative
I:lls,'°4Yment to this Company; and it is evident that the day
• si aPPrOaChinwhen iron steamships will be used not not only for ths conveyance of emigrants and pas-
'll4• 12.er, but costlyas, silks, and other descr.ptions of the
port on mosty articles of commene to and from every
.00ot On of the globe.
eft Wing to the revolution which iron-plated ships have
~..!oted in naval warfare, it has become necessary to recoil-
Zuct the entire navies of Europe. and from the admirable
ataller in which the iron-plated vessels ef war recently
shi ell to the British navy have been constructed by private
Pbullder, and by the Thames Iron Ship-building; Com-
nis, there is not the slightest doubt that the building of
1,• cfleets of Great Britain and the other naval Po were will
future be large entrusted to such companies.
that eleent in the success o this Company is the f
vari luere will be a London Board, ready t contrac tor the
tio.v°lll3 and impor ant contracts of the British and Foreign
4e,./nments, an the large Shipping Companies, whose
orders are naturally first placed in hand in London, and
which are much more likely to be secured by the influence of
etropolitan directory thin by the application of a provin-
','alliPbuilder.
