British Shipbuilders Corporation was a Public Corporation that owned and managed the UK shipbuilding industry from 1977 and through the 1980s. The corporation was founded as a result of the Aircraft And Shipbuilding Industries Act 1977 which Nationalised all major British shipbuilding companies. The same act nationalised the three large British aviation companies and grouped them in an analogous corporation, British Aerospace . Harland & Wolff, the only shipbuilder based in Northern Ireland was a special political case and remained out with the control of the British Shipbuilders management, despite being in its ownership. British Shipbuilders was privatised in 1983 under the terms of the British Shipbuilders Act 1983 . The various divisions that had survived under nationalised ownership were divested throughout the 1980s as the company wound up operations. |
