CinemaSerf6 Apr 4, 2022Like a phoenix from the ashes, this depicts the steel working processes involved in the construction of a ship. Fathers ands sons (some quite young, and one with a distinct view of Hitler) work together, keeping each other motivated as the industrial process is displayed to us. What is striking is just how many people are involved. Though automated, to an extent, these massive engineering projects occupied and employed a great many people (and apprentices) - involved in all aspects of shipbuilding. Very much a hands on process that is really illustrative of a community-driven (and noisy) manufacturing age long since departed the UK. A merchantman, I wonder what became of "No. 242"?
