The Mersey Engine Works, in Sefton-street, Liverpool, is an integral part of the business of Elder, Dempster and Co., being in fact the repairing yard for the big shipping company, are, by a process of co-ordination, to be placed under the same control as the works of Harland and Wolff at Bootle. It is really a matter of internal re-arrangement, which confers uniformity of administration. Mr. J. B. Wilkie, who has been superintendent engineer of the Elder, Dempster Line for a number of years, is the manager of the Mersey Engine Works, and Lord Pirrie, chairman of Harland and Wolff, is, together with Sir Owen Philipps, a director of Elder, Dempster and Company.'[2]
