| Description | These are mainly ships sub-contracted by Swan Hunter to other yards (including North of Ireland Shipbuilders: all work at this yard seems to have been sub-contracted from the Tyne yards). The series also includes Wallsend 'contract packets' relating to ship finance for vessels built elsewhere. Item references in this series use the yard name and number.
