Young guests at the launch of the cargo ship 'Empire Crown'

  12 years later & that could be me at Swan Hunters!

Naval gun mounting at the Elswick Works

from North East Museums

• A.Davey said:

  Interesting text and great photo - thanks! Looking back, it's tempting to say that countries are better off when they're the workshops of the world than under post-industrial economies.

• Billy Embleton said:

  Could be a turret for the battleship HMS Monarch as that was under construction at Elswick in 1911.

• optimal chicken said:

  Oh wow this is a fantastic photo! Very atmospheric! I kinda forgot these things are assembled 'dirty' and then dismantled, painted and placed onto a ship..

• Billy Embleton said:

  13.5 inch calibre Paul. Monarch mounted 10 of these guns in 5 turrets. As a footnote the Japanese battleships Yamato & Musashi mounted the largest guns in history at 18 inch calibre. The armoured plates on the turret faces were 25 inches thick.

• optimal chicken said:

  That's madness Billy. Mind saying that, it's how warfare was carried out on the seas then. Now it's missiles and aircraft..

Testing guns at the firing range, Silloth

from North East Museums

• optimal chicken said:

  Still waiting for your write up as I say this but.. were the guns 'proven' on Tyneside or taken elsewhere for testing? I can't imagine huge bangs along the river! Mind, stranger things happened..

• Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:

  Hi [https://www.flickr.com/photos/flyeye] this one was taken at Silloth-on-Solway, although Ridsdale in Northumberland was also frequently used.

• steviej 007 said:

  I remember when I played Silloth Golf Club somebody told me that their was a firing range

• Billy Embleton said:

  Another great industrial image. Some of the worlds greatest battleships were built at Elswick.
