  • A state of cleanliness where the microbial and wild yeast and bacterial count on the surface of an item is reduced to a level considered safe for brewing. This is achieved by soaking items in a solution of sanitizing agent. See sterile.

John Shanks (1827-1895), a plumber from Paisley, settled in Barrhead in 1853 and from small beginnings built up the Shanks and Co Ltd. It began as a small brass foundry in a lane off Main Street, which opened in 1866 and made brass fittings for toilets, baths and other sanitary ware. It was around this time that Shanks patented a device with a non-return valve that allowed flushing toilets to be installed on ships. At the turn of the century Shanks bought a site in the centre of town known as the Victorian Pottery and the company was now able to manufacture all kinds of bathroom ware. After 1918 the company developed vitreous pottery, which was particularly suited to bathrooms and was soon being exported worldwide. In the 1920s the tubal works moved to a site next to the Pottery at Victoria Road. For half a century Shanks was the most important works in Barrhead. The Shanks family ran the company until 1969, when it merged with another company to become Armitage Shanks. In the 1980s jobs were being lost at the works and the decision to close them was taken in 1989. Despite a campaign to save the works they finally closed in 1992.
Crews Head
Crews Head
The Crew's Head, located at the after end of the Crew's Berthing compartment against the starboard hull, contains toilets for enlisted crew use. The heads are filled with seawater from a valve at the rear, and emptied into the number two sanitary tank (directly below) by pulling a lever on the side of the large valve under the bowl. The sanitary tank is normally emptied every day directly to the sea using compressed air.
