  Encyclopedia: John Laird Sons and Company
Cammell Laird, one of the most famous names in British ship-building during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, came about following the merger of Laird, Son and Co. of Birkenhead and Johnson Cammell and Co. of Sheffield at the turn of the twentieth century.
Laird, Son and Co. was founded by John Laird in 1824, and became pre-eminent in the manufacture of iron ships.
The post-Second World War years were turbulent for Cammell Laird, and despite the efforts of a workforce which helped create one of the UK's largest commercial ship repair, conversion and shipbuilding companies, its Birkenhead operations were suspended in 2001.
