About the Item

Double port and starboard dredge pumping control by Simons Lobnitz Ltd of Renfrew. Circa 1960. Two 12 ½ inch dials, and two 4 ¼ dials, with internal lights. Simons-Lobnitz Ltd of Renfrew. The company was descended from Coulburn Lobnitz & Company, established in 1874, and the adjacent shipyard of William Simons & Co, established in 1860. Both builders specialised in the construction of dredgers and hopper barges. The two companies amalgamated in 1957 as Simons-Lobnitz Ltd. Faced with declining business the Renfrew yard finally closed in 1964 after some 1300 dredgers as well as barges and tugs had been built at the site.
