Williamson-Buchanan (1936)
Ltd
Formed by the
merger of the independent Williamson and Buchanan fleets, the last
remaining non-railway fleet became part of the Caledonian Steam
Packet Company in 1935. However, it was reconstituted as a separate
CSP subsidiary in 1936 and operated as such until the Second World
War. In 1933 the famous turbine steamer Queen Mary joined the fleet
and remained on the Clyde until her withdrawal in
1977.
