“Lochlomond” was completed by William Denny & Brothers, Dumbarton, in 1845. At the time the firm was known simply as Denny Brothers, and “Lochlomond” is particularly significant as it is Denny’s yard number 1: the firm’s first ‘official’ ship. William Denny & Brothers went on to build over 1500 vessels before the closure of the yard in 1963: the Denny Ship Model Experiment Tank is the last remaining part of the shipyard, and is now part of the Scottish Maritime Museum in Dumbarton.
“Lochlomond” was built for the Dumbarton Steamboat Company, with the machinery constructed by Glasgow firm Smith & Rodger. As part payment the builders accepted the hull of the client’s old Vale of Leven, and used this to create the new vessel Lochlomond. She operated on the Glasgow to Dumbarton route before being sold for use as a Mersey ferry in 1854. In 1862 she was owned and registered in Preston, being broken up about 2 years later.
