We could be shipbuilding... Scotland

"We could be shipbuilding..." as Elvis Costello once sang.

The sound of metal clanking, or chains being dragged, shouts, laughter and klaxon's. Taped-off areas, health and safety briefings and drills, and then the crane operator jumps into his carriage. 

The crane creaks into action, the chains take the strain and the hull of a new shipped is slowly winched off the ground to be swung round into place. Another ship comes into being, another ship built on Scotland's famous River Clyde near Glasgow. Another ship to sail with the stamp on it of 'Clydebuilt', a word synonymous with quality engineering.
