Found this reference to the company:
BRITISH MARINE MOTOR & LAUNCH CO., Ltd. (Proprietors: J. Howden & Co., Ltd. ) Old Kilpatrick (Dumbartonshire), near Glasgow. T. A.: "Wisdom, Old Kilpatrick." T. N.: Bowling 28. Established 1910. Incorporated 1914. Directors: Wm. H. Howden (Chairman ), J. Howden Hume and J. B. McGillivray. Employees about 300. Manufactures.—Motor cruisers, motor lifeboats with wireless outfits, collapsible lifeboats, flying boats, sailing yachts, ships' boats, paraffin motors.
I think Howden's are still in business, and know that they built one of the Channel Tunnel boring machines at their works in Scotland Street, Glasgow.
You could also try the many archives available in Glasgow for information about the company, you never know that might shed some light on your vessel.
