Our thanks are extended to W. Sloan Smith for sharing his grandfather’s photo album from the old family business of W. H. Arnott Young & Co. Ltd shipbreakers, which had yards at Troon and Dalmuir.

The album (186 pages) contains photos of West Coast Wrecks and Shipbreaking inc Troon, Dalmuir, Old Kilpatrick and much more. It’s a large file but can be downloaded by clicking here (23Mb PDF).

There is a pdf text index of the album available here (550k).

Please contact W. Sloan Smith if you’d like to use or get a copy of any of the photos.
