My grandfather started work in a shipyard in Stockton on Tees aged 14 as a heater up lad and progressed to foreman riveter , he died aged 38 from lung/chest disease.
John Brown's Yard, my home town! Lovely to see the Yard Manager raise his hat to the young girl when the kids were introduced to him...a true gent!

Love the film footage of the old Quasi-Arc "Fusarc" deck welding machine in use.
Tonight when you go to bed you'll feel what cornea damage feels like since no one told you not to look at the welding arc! Isn't that exciting kids!
I worked most of my life in shipbuilding and still dont know how they got all those rivet holes to line up.
Nowadays these young people wouldn't be let near a construction site like this!
Keep Calm and Carry on.
GRAZIE 🙏
My great great grandfather is probably in this but hard to tell which one he is
Interesting to see both welding and riveting being used!
Is there no audio track? That would be nice to be noted in the textbox.
