  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..

  Fine photograph - the ship was broken up in Hong Kong in 1969.
