Tales From The Shipyard

This double-disc DVD brings together over 5 hours of documentary film about Britain's shipbuilding heritage - from scenes of jubilant workers celebrating spectacular launches in the early 1900s to King George V and Queen Mary's morale-boosting trip to Northern England's shipyards in the tail end of the Great War; from the planning and building of the luxury liner S S Olympic to stunning lyrical documentaries such as Shipyard (1935) and The Sea Shall Test Her (1954).
