View source for John Brown & Company

'''John Brown & Company''' was a Scottish shipbuilding concern during the Dreadnought Era.  Originally founded as an engineering firm, it acquired the [[J. & G.  Thomson]] shipbuilding firm, which had been winning contracts to build destroyers for the [[Royal Navy]] in 1899.  Operation then continued under the Brown name.
