WARSHIPBUILDING ON THE CLYDE 1898-1939, Peebles HBDJ VG

Description: WARSHIPBUILDING ON THE CLYDE - Naval orders and the prosperity of the Clyde shipbuilding industry, 1889-1939 Peebles, Hugh BEdinburgh, 1987, John Donald, first UK edition, hard bound in dust jacket, 6x9, VG/VG condition, vi, 205 pages, extensive notes, bibliog, appendix, index.------------------------------The part played by warship building in the history of the Clyde shipbuilding industry has received less attention than it deserves. While only a minority of Clyde yards undertook naval work in peacetime most of the warship builders were also important builders of merchant ships and before and after the First World War upwards of 40% of the Clyde's total output of ships was produced in warship building yards. Based on a systematic analysis of the records of the firms involved, this book examines the impact of fluctuations in naval demand on the fortunes of the warship building yards and shows that naval orders were of critical importance for many of them. Much of the prosperity which these yards enjoyed in the years before the First World War is shown to be attributable to profitable naval orders and, conversely, many of the problems which they faced in the interwar period are shown to be due to the decline in demand for warships.This is an important contribution to the history of the Clyde shipbuilding industry and will be of interest not only to students of business history and economic history but also to those seeking information on the warships built on the Clyde between 1889 and 1939 and the firms which produced them. 2018 NEW TERMS******************************************************************** THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING WITH US - WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR BUSINESS.
