SMS Derfflinger: The upside-down battlecruiser broken up at Faslane [Helensburgh Advertiser]





Date: 16/02/2022

Many famous vessels were broken up at Faslane during the 36 years of Shipbreaking Industries.

Many of its employees came from all over the world, as well as quite a few from Garelochhead.

Local historian and Helensburgh Heritage Trust director Alistair McIntyre has researched the story of the yard, and I am grateful to him for much of what follows.
