Page "Vickers" Paragraph 7

The yard at Barrow became the " Naval Construction Yard ".

With these acquisitions, Vickers could now produce a complete selection of products, from ships and marine fittings to armour plate and a whole suite of ordnance.

In 1901 the Royal Navy's first submarine, Holland 1, was launched at the Naval Construction Yard.

In 1902 Vickers took a half share in the famous Clyde shipyard John Brown and Company.
