Description
The story of Newcastle's Elswick and Low Walker shipyards, the icebreakers, train ferries, and warships that steamed from the Tyne to all parts of the world from the 1850s until after World War Two. This new book examines the achievements of Lord W.G. Armstrong and of Charles Mitchell, ingenious and entrpreneurial shipbuilders and engineers who established the Tyne's reputation for soundly built ships. With many archive photographs, from the 1860s to the 1940s, this book comprises a complete history of the two shipyards. Armstrong's River Empire includes a 12 page colour section illustrating the exotic cards produced to celebrate the launches of many of these ships. Out this March!
