Here's a clipping from The Greenock Telegraph from 04/03/1899 and Claude Lambie being awarded a medallion at The Kingston Shipyard...Interestingly his brother Alexander was a Shipyard Manager at the time and is also mentioned.
The Kingston yard is now long gone and lies buried underneath the B&Q Superstore in Port Glasgow, as shown by this photo from the http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3674163 website. Most of our BOYLAN and LAMBIE ancestors worked in the shipyards along the River Clyde, from Greenock, Port Glasgow, Govan, Clydebank and Yoker.
