Description: | On the slipway at Albert Dock the concrete ship 'Cretemanor' is nearly ready to be launched. To one side is the 'Cretemanor's sister ship, the 'Cretemoor', which was launched a year later in 1920. The use of concrete for shipbuilding fell from favour and was not tried on a large scale again until the outbreak of World War II. | Subjects: | Transport (Water) Shipyard Industry | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Winter, Arthur | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
