By the 1840s it was universally recognised as the finest in Britain. Many firms were founded by former employees. After Robert Napier's death in 1876 the plant and goodwill were sold by auction in March 1877 and purchased by a group of engineers led by the previous manager, A C Kirk. It continued to build ships and engines until 1900 when it was incorporated in William Beardmore and Company. (en)
