Bow, McLachlan & Company

Bow, McLachlan & Company was a Scottish shipbuilder founded in 1872. Initially, it built marine components and eventually specialised in small ships that would be disassembled for shipment to remote places where they would be re-assembled for service. During the Dreadnought Era, it built a number of sloops for the Royal Navy.

History

The company was acquired and shut down in 1932.
