Foreword by George Clarke
“Shipbuilding has now gone from my hometown. Its industrial heart has stopped beating. But, Naomi Austin has put together the most wonderful book to keep the memories of those thriving industrial days alive. Combined with her elegant drawings she captures the stories of those ships that changed the world as well as celebrating the lives of the incredible people who built them.”
