Walter Hood & Co.
The Walter Hood shipyard built many of Aberdeen's finest sailing vessels, including the famous clipper ship THERMOPYLAE.
Walter Hood was a native of Brechin and served his apprenticeship in Aberdeen before moving to Dundee to work there. In 1839 Hood returned to Aberdeen and is known to own and operate a yard under his own name at Footdee by 1840. He not only managed the yard but also designed the vessels built there.
