Back in an era when Britain, Scotland and Ireland built the worlds best merchant ships. A very hard days work for a fair days wage? Great video, well done.
Instead of going on about this and that misery, why not just appreciate how beautifully made the film was and how heroic were the people in it.
I work at a ship yard we do the same shit now lol
Such hard work, most became deaf because of this ruthless work. Certainly tough men indeed.
My grandfather lost most of his hearing and several fingers. No worker's comp in those days. This was in the U.S.
no health and safety in those days scary working conditions
I remember seeing the Orion when I went to Barrow with my Dad, must have been in the very early Sixties. We went on the train, a great treat for me at the time
RMS Orion served through WW2 as a troop ship
Survived till 1963
I wondered about her life story.
The Orion was followed a year in 1936 with the launch of the Orcades which in the end was torpedoed in the War by U-172 a couple of hundred miles south-west of South Africa but only after being hit by seven torpedoes before sinking in three-miles of water.
That is the strangest documentary I have ever seen. Fascinating.
Just look at how hard these people had to work and at those little shit-house places they were forced to live in.
This video should have subtitles because the narrator's voice is so quiet it is difficult, sometimes impossible, to hear what he's saying over the shipyard noises.
I lived in barrow from the Early 80s great town and pubs…left in 2005 for Australia, great decision, never looked back.
the look in the guys face at 23:33 says it all. He worked his ass of to earn some money and now this ship will carry rich and famous people wo dont even bother to look down to the working class men and appreciate their honest and hard work. I feel him. He must be long dead by now and under that work sircumstances... lets say yourt life doesnt get longer. Poor lads back then, such skillfull and talented guys.
The numbe rof work related accidents must have been high? Great film
It shows in the end that the builders really didnt bask in the glory of it all..
The shipyard and its town must've been hit hard with the collapse of the British shipbuilding industry in the 1960s.
Interesting
wonderful
The only woman in the film is the posh lady glimpsed 20 seconds before the end.
Thanks }:O)
I bet a ship builders life in that small town was awesome...
Low pay, long hours, laid off between job, no safety net if injured. You are very naive.
Crazy seeing that hot work under the hammer! You can see the white and intellectually I know it’s hot but with the black and white I can’t tell HOW hot! Crazy! Reminds me of learning aluminum. 🤯❤
Back in the Old days many a smart ships were built, in British Ship Yards. There was work for Thousands of Workers. In those days it was very hard working. Today every thing is all modern technology.
They built better stuff then, then we do now
At the launch , when the ropes stretched and broke , the power generated was able to cut a man in half if they strayed too close to the slip and indeed this happened on numerous occasions ovet the years .
Pretty sure all sound and dialog were added afterward
I wonder what those hard working men thought of all the VIP's and local dignitaries who went off for a champagne lunch afterwards !
They knew it wasn’t their place or station. Wouldn’t have heard the speeches anyway, being deaf from the rivetting.
A welder is a boilermaker with his brains battered Out as my dad use to say 🤭
No safety gear of any description, not even a pair of gloves. Also, very uncomfortable looking, ordinary clothes, for work gear.
Would love to of lived in them days
Really , I lived in barrow , not the best place to live. Most in those days lived 7 to 10 people in a terraced house that worked in vickers
70% of the town worked in Vickers those days, worked to live, nothing glamorous about those days, however we made some great ships and submarines. A precocial town , everyone knows everything and everyone.
So many died from asbestos related diseases…sad but true.
my grandfather worked here, in the sex shop.
So many people died from asbestos related illnesses
See all the diversity?
I was just going to say the same thing !
Who edited this ? 💀 unbearable to watch
