I viewed this after Leo's *_Tally Ho_* "deck beams" program. Fascinating addition to my growing knowledge about how and where wooden ships were constructed. Thanks to KZfaq and COVID-19 lockdown.

What a beautiful place! So very rich in history from many years of large Naval Warship building right up till today where the history is still being made and added to. Such a lovely and grand story. Packed full of images and unique models. Ive enjoyed so many of your videos. This one really touched my heart. I hail from the U.S. where our history doesn't include scores centuries. I've visited many places dotted around this earth in my day. It seems that only now that I've reached the age of 60 that I can truly appreciate such things. I tip my hat to you. Well Done Sir!

Come here from Leo's Tally To build. Love how current craft can so easily lead somewhere like this.

I don't now who Mary's husband is, and I wish him no ill will at all, but I think I may have fallen completely in love with Mary Montague Scott during that video. And that would be, despite her aristocratic antecedence.

A dim distant memory, I think that Superintendent Adams had an office with a telescope on which he watched the men working, the men had numbers attached to their clothes on their backs and if he saw somebody not working (loafing in naval parlance) He would call them on a speaking horn and warn them, 3 strikes and they were out!
