EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to the bustling shipbuilding yard at John Brown & Company's Clydebank shipyard, circa 1911. The image captures a pivotal moment during the construction of the iconic Cunard luxury liner, Aquitania. This magnificent vessel, weighing an impressive 45,647 gross tons, took three years to build and was finally launched in 1914. As one of the last Atlantic four-stackers ever built, Aquitania holds a significant place in maritime history. She proudly served as a symbol of elegance and opulence for over three decades - making her mark as the longest-serving ship of this century. Throughout her illustrious career, she fulfilled various roles including armed merchant cruiser duties during wartime, transporting troops across vast oceans, and even serving as a hospital when needed. The shipyards at Clydebank were once thriving hubs that fueled rapid industrial growth in Scotland. However, by 1931 economic downturns led to soaring unemployment rates reaching a staggering 65%. Nevertheless, this photograph stands testament to an era when these yards flourished with activity and ambition.
