Hi all, I am trying to obtain information on a shipyard called RENFREW DOCKYARD located in Belfast in regards to a vessel built there in 1866 I have been unable to find any reference to this establishment so any information would be very welcome.

Hi , I might be completely off the right track but the only Renfrew I have heard of is in Scotland and is a town situated between Govan and Clydebank , and Wikipedia suggests that it was previously known for shipbuilding (Simons and Lobnitz ) and in particular for building sand dredgers . The shipyard closed in the 1960s . And I cannot see a surname Renfrew in Belfast shipyards , dominated of course by Harland and Wolff . -----Original Message----- From: Joe McMillan via Sent: Friday, June 26, 2015 9:15 AM To: Mariners-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [MAR] Location of dockyard Hi all, I am trying to obtain information on a shipyard called RENFREW DOCKYARD located in Belfast in regards to a vessel built there in 1866 I have been unable to find any reference to this establishment so any information would be very welcome.

Hi , You are quite correct in stating that Renfrew is located in Scotland on the River Clyde but on the opposite side of the river from Govan and Clydebank. It has been established that the reference to "Renfrew Dockyard,Belfast" is totally wrong and the vessel i was researching was,in fact, built on the Clyde at Renfrew. Thank you for your interest in my query. Kindest regards, Joe McMillan, South Australia. -----Original Message----- From: elizgh@btinternet.com Sent: Friday, June 26, 2015 7:08 PM To: Joe McMillan ; mariners@rootsweb.com Subject: [MAR] Location of dockyard Hi , I might be completely off the right track but the only Renfrew I have heard of is in Scotland and is a town situated between Govan and Clydebank , and Wikipedia suggests that it was previously known for shipbuilding (Simons and Lobnitz ) and in particular for building sand dredgers .
