| Title | PAPERS OF HUGH CROMPTON BISCHOFF: NATIONAL SHIPBUILDERS SECURITY LTD |
| Date | 7 Nov 1929 - 12 Feb 1931 |
| Admin History | A general recognition that the major task of the shipbuilding industry was to reduce building capacity led to the formation in 1920 of National Shipbuilders Security Ltd. The main object of this organization was the purchase by voluntary negotiation of redundant shipyards. By 1938 it had reduced building capacity by purchase by 1.3 million tons. National Shipbuilders Security Ltd went into voluntary liquidation in 1958. |
