An excellent series of photos, is there anything similar for the Tyne shipyards?

Hutchy99 Glad you like them. There are similar progress shots for Tyne shipyards. You can see a few for the 'Mauretania' in this set www.flickr.com/photos/twm_news/albums/72157625339949452.

Unfortunately the ship went aground on 06/02/1940 at Forewick Holm, Papa Stour, Shetlands. No loss of life and the vessel was abandoned to be broken up by the elements.
