Clyde Shipyards on Show

By Clare Paterson on October 29, 2009 • ( 0 )

Tonight’s Time Shift – The Men Who Built the Liners – focuses on the Clyde Shipyards; telling the story of the people who built some of the world’s most famous ships including Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth and the QE2.

The film producers visited Archive Services earlier in the year to film some of the records of the Clyde Shipyards that we hold. They were particularly interested in the ships’ detailed plans and the photograph albums that show their construction in the yards. Keep your eyes peeled and you might be able to spot some of them!

The Men Who Built the Liners is broadcast on BBC Four at 9pm on Thursday 29th October.
