Installing Turbines
circa 1911: Huge turbine engines being hoisted into position for fitting to the Cunard luxury liner Aquitania during her construction at a Clydebank shipyard owned by John Brown and 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. Shipyards dominated Clydebank and led to rapid industrial growth until demand faltered and the areas economy slumped in 1931 with unemployment levels reaching 65%.

An Icon of Industrial Innovation - The Aquitania Takes Shape
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in the construction of the legendary Cunard luxury liner, Aquitania. Circa 1911, amidst the bustling shipyard owned by John Brown and Company in Clydebank, Scotland, massive turbine engines are being meticulously hoisted into position for fitting onto this majestic vessel. The Aquitania's creation was no small feat; it took three painstaking years to build before finally being launched in 1914. Weighing an impressive 45,647 gross tons, she proudly stood as the last of the Atlantic four-stackers. Little did anyone know that she would go on to become one of the longest-serving ships of her time. Throughout her remarkable career spanning over three decades, this magnificent liner served various roles including armed merchant cruiser during war duty, troopship transporting soldiers across vast oceans, and even a hospital when needed most. As we gaze upon this archival snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but be reminded of Clydebank's once thriving shipbuilding industry which propelled rapid industrial growth until unfortunate circumstances led to economic decline in 1931. Unemployment levels soared to a staggering 65%, leaving behind memories etched within these shipyards' walls. Let us celebrate not only the extraordinary engineering marvels like Aquitania but also pay homage to those who dedicated their lives crafting these vessels that carried dreams across vast seas - forever shaping our world's history.
