| A close up of detailed image (plus a colourised version) from the Newcastle Archives of the pontoon under construction on a misty day in 1909. Was it the 24th April 1909, I wonder! The riveted construction of the frames may be seen attached to the keel plates and bulwarks of the floatation chambers. Who is the man posing in the foreground? Is it your Great Grandfather? Tell us your story if you, or your family worked at the yard please. [062] |
