The merger made sense, because Thornycroft had yard space but few orders, while Vosper had the orders but lacked space. The combined company built new facilities at Woolston and production continued there until 2004. However, by 2003, the company had outgrown even those facilities, and it was decided to move production to a new yard at

Thomas Ridley Oswald arrived in
Southampton from Sunderland in about 1875 and opened up a shipbuilding and ship repair yard in Woolston. During the thirteen years 1876-1889 some 104 vessels were launched from the Woolston yard of the company, which was restyled Oswald, Mordaunt & Co in 1878, when
