The company’s speciality was small iron-hulled steamboats and yachts including those used in the Clutha ferry service. The yard produced more than 300 vessels, some of which have survived and are in service into the 21st century. Builds include MY Raven, MY Lady of the Lake, PS Brighton, MV Nelcebee and PS Lune.The Seath business closed in 1902 after a tidal weir was installed on the river east of Albert Bridge, blocking access to the sea from Rutherglen. Other firms continued to use the yard until 1923. Seath is interred in a prominent tomb at the nearby Southern Necropolis.
