  What a picture, so powerfull, so gracefull, so British! Look what Britain could once do everyone! However, marvelous memories of greatness are just that, memories, and memories don't feed the baby. Does anyone out there think that there is any chance at all of Britain halting the slide downwards and getting to put the word 'great' back into the name?

  Wonderful Picture It seems that the models of ships were kind of similar in common This Mauritania looks like the Titanic in general

  Referring to FrigateRN's original comment ... who knows? I was a little kid in Jarrow in the 60s and the sense of pride that we were still (just about) building the world's biggest ships (supertankers by then) was everywhere. But now? Everything's got a price and the work goes where the price is lowest. You have to remember that the industrial revolution was driven yes by ingenuity and determination and genius, but also by the fact that Britain had a huge empire to service and massive revenues from it. We were once the only nation in the world that even could build ships this size. Now they can be built anywhere and it tends to be where the labour's cheapest. I'd love to see Britain be able to call itself Great again but I don't think it'll be through engineering. Sadly we are just not an economic powerhouse any more, we're a small to middling economy.
