An advertisement for the Penarth Ship Building and Ship Repairing Company, Limited, Penarth Dock, Cardiff from Slater's Directory published in the mid-1880's. (I would estimate it to be 1884 or later) At this date Mr Robert Monroe was the Manager of the yard which was situated at the bank of the River Ely. [626]

An almost identical advertisement from Slater's Directory to that above except that at the date of publication, 1882, Mr George Cooper was Manager. [626]
