J. AND G. THOMSON, GOVAN
The Govan yard built the steamer Fingal, which Bulloch bought in September 1861 and ran into Savannah with ordnance and supplies. Fingal could not get back out and was converted into the ironclad Atlanta, captured by Union monitors in 1863. Several Thomson ships, including the Robert E. Lee, became blockade runners.
