Scottish Shipbuilding

An inspection of the midship framing forming the hull of the Cunard luxury liner Aquitania, under construction at the Clydebank shipyard owned by John Brown & Company. The Aquitania took three years to build and was launched in 1914 weighing 45, 647 gross tons. The last of the Atlantic four-stackers, she went on to become the longest-serving ship this century, retiring after 35 years of service which included war duty as an armed merchant cruiser, a troopship and a hospital.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in the rich history of Scottish shipbuilding, specifically at the Clydebank shipyard owned by John Brown & Company. The image shows an inspection of the midship framing forming the hull of the iconic Cunard luxury liner Aquitania, which was under construction at the time. The sheer size and scale of this vessel is evident as workers meticulously examine every detail to ensure its seaworthiness. The Aquitania, weighing an impressive 45,647 gross tons, took three years to build and was finally launched in 1914. As the last of the Atlantic four-stackers, she went on to have a remarkable career spanning 35 years. This included serving as an armed merchant cruiser, troopship, and hospital during wartime. In this photograph, we see a group of male workers focused on their task amidst towering cranes and construction machinery. Their dedication to quality control is palpable as they work diligently on this monumental project. The frame captures a pivotal point in maritime history when craftsmanship and innovation intersected to create one of the longest-serving ships of its time. This archival piece from Topical Press Agency/Getty Images is not just a snapshot but a window into a bygone era where Scotland's shipbuilding prowess reigned supreme in Europe's transport industry.
