Special post! "Empress of Britain" (1955) short film. 12.03.2024 We are proud to share with you an exciting film on the 2nd Empress of Britain made by one of our trustees, Professor Faye Hammill. Please enjoy Faye's full production here: oceanmodern.gla.ac.uk/index.php/film/
This weeks three 'Clydebuilt Clues' are: 1. She remained the largest ship built for 58 years! 2. She still holds the record for the largest riveted ship in history. 3. During the war, she regularly carried 15,000 troops - and could still outrun U-Boats and their torpedoes!
HMT Lancastria - Britain's greatest maritime disaster. With deaths as high as 7,000, 5x more people than the famous Titanic disaster. The fact this tragedy is so little known, despite its magnitude is precisely the problem we aim to solve.
On 17/09/23, we were at Fairfield as part of our Public Consultation phase. It was bolstering to hear the stories and enthusiasm for our shared shipbuilding heritage. If you would like to engage with our project in any way, please visit: https://www.theshipyardscot/engage
The Ship Yard Trust will be at Fairfield in Govan, where we are based, this Sunday as part of the Open Door Festival. We'll be available tomorrow from 1-4PM. Come and chat to us about our vision!
Hello friends! We've been very busy this year continuing to lay the ground work for this great project: meeting with high level stakeholders, identifying a location and growing the board of the Trust. We will be looking to provide a more active social media presence now.
The Ship Yard Trust would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Excellent coverage of the latest developments at The Ship Yard Trust by @SRTristan at the @clydebankpost this week. Thank you Tristan!
We're continuing to gather supporters of the project. Show your support here at theshipyard.scot/supportus

@fesshole I know the feeling. Since I became a single dad my 'friends' suddenly didn't want to know. Then I got diagnosed with cancer, no one really talks to me anymore. It's just me and my daughter. I'm glad I've got her but life is pretty lonely and very tough.
@dczumble @zerohedge A lot of people especially the younger generation don’t understand what living within your means is.
@dczumble @zerohedge 15/hr at 40 hours a week is $600 before taxes, about $522 after taxes. That’s $2088 a month. Live at your parents, get a room mate. Buy a cheap car, preferably cash. If you live close to work bike or take public transportation. Cut out Netflix, Amazon, Going out to Eat etc.
