During the last half of the nineteenth century, a number of British industrial concerns involved in the construction of ships and the manufacture of armaments grew substantially in size, mainly through contracts from the British Admiralty and over seas governments. By the early 1900s, through a series of mergers and take-overs, these businesses had coalesced into a formidable naval construction industry comprised of vertically integrated companies employing tens of thou sands in their shipyards, engine works, ordnance factories, steel works, armour mills, forges and foundries across the UK.
