Launch party of the cargo ship 'Empire Hazlitt'

Princess Diana Spencer left of the two wheels? Zoom in.. I love looking over these images because they show us so much detail of what life was like then. I sat for a while wondering what their accents would be like - if they'd changed much. It then dawned on me that they'd speak like our grandparents..
Jordi Knight said:
Diana must have had an appointment with the good Doctor (Timelord).

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/flyeye] ... I think the dead fox hanging around the woman's neck probably didn't get a chance to speak at all!

Jordi Knight Haha bad one! The resemblance is uncanny.. [https://www.flickr.com/photos/114040527@N03] Ah. Poor wee thing - I didn't spot it. Back then it was quite normal for people to own furs (if they had the money). There are businesses around today who back then as extra income would import furs. One business close to me here is very well known for selling fruit and veg but back then imported tons of furs.. I'm saying no more!

Launch of the cargo ship 'Kelmscott'

Health and safety regulations wouldn't allow this these days. Then again I guess there aren't too many ships like this get launched in this fashion these days ... certainly not from South Shields anyway.
bawdy kittens said:
I don't mean to be pedantic but isn't the flag the wrong way round ... I guess the image has been reversed at some time ? commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Union_Jack_Flag_MOD_4...

Preparing the cargo ship 'Crofter' for launch

As a pipefitter I can imagine what getting to your work area would be like every morning. That is a long flight of steps to climb. It makes me appreciate what the most famous pipefitter in the world did before he was an entertainer. Of course I mean the great Joe Cocker.
