The photo shows the staggering engineering which went into making ships. Each rivet needed a hole drilled to accomodate it. Then red hot rivets were shoved in and flattened over. That's aside from the actual cutting and shaping of each plate - every single one was different. All that but before they could do it they had to melt steel to make sheet. To make steel they had to mine ores and fuels.. The process of ship building is an incredible story from start to finish.

We originally dated this photo to 1943 but it seems to have been taken on a different occasion from the other one in the set that's definitely 1943. We now think it is from the 1920 royal visit and have amended the caption.
