[edit] Which yard?

I'm interested in the end of the Yarrow yards in London. The Wikipedia articles about the Thyella class ships all say they were built by Yarrow 'at Scotstoun' but I'm not sure if the Scotstoun bit is assumption or documented.

The individual articles (eg Greek destroyer Lonchi) say the ships were 'laid down in 1905' and launced variously in 1907 or 1908. The article on Alfred Yarrow says of the yard's move:

(1906–1908) Yarrow gradually moving his yard northwards to Scotstoun on the banks of the River Clyde on the west coast of Scotland, closing the London shipyard in 1908.

This rather implies that the Greek ships might have been built in London, with the yard closing when they were completed. Can anyone shed light on this? Pterre 18:20, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

The source for the information in this article is here. That doesn't mean that the ships weren't actually built in London... but absent any better information, I guess we stick with it? Argos'Dad 19:28, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
