A. & J. Inglis Ld.

  • Shipyards

A. & J. Inglis Ltd. was a historic shipbuilding company based in Glasgow, Scotland. The company was established in 1862 on the banks of the River Clyde, a region renowned for its shipbuilding industry. The founders, Anthony and John Inglis, managed to build a significant reputation in the maritime sector for constructing various types of vessels, including steamships, ferries, and passenger liners, as well as yachts and other specialized vessels.

Throughout its operational years, A. & J. Inglis became known for producing strong and reliable ships. One of the most famous ships built by the company was the SS Sir Walter Scott, a steamship launched in 1900 and still in operation today on Loch Katrine as a popular tourist attraction.

The company often adapted to the changing demands of the shipbuilding industry, balancing civilian maritime construction with military contracts, particularly during the World Wars. However, like many shipbuilding firms in the region, A. & J. Inglis faced challenges during the post-war period, including increased competition, changes in shipbuilding techniques, and economic difficulties. These factors led to a decline in the industry throughout the latter half of the 20th century.

Finally, in the 1960s, A. & J. Inglis was absorbed by the Caledon Shipbuilding & Engineering Company, eventually leading to the closure of the shipyard in 1962, ending a significant chapter in Glasgow's maritime history.
