Naval gun mounting at the Elswick Works

from North East Museums

    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.

    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.

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

Repairing locomotives at the Scotswood Works

from North East Museums

  • Land Rover 61 said:
    The boiler on the left appears to be under a steam test with pressure gauge, water level sight glass and temporary regulator handle. A fascinating photograph.
  • Billy Embleton said:
    Preassure testing yes, but with water. It was much safer.
  • Franc Mitchell said:
    Armstrong, Tyneside repaired ex W.D. - R.O.D.'s post war, this may be what we are looking at, some of them were on sold to China. Whoops, looks like 'Tags' look like a brain-storming session! Nor can I see a 'train anywhere, and only barely half a locomotive.

    Looks like the running gear from a Sherman tank; is that where the name comes from Sher(man)Vick(ers)?
