Hi Phredd.
Thanks for the the link to the ariel photo of Graysons Yard Birkenhead.
I am not sure where I should post this threrad but here goes.
I have now decided to try and recapture my experiences and try to pay tribute to those who worked in ship repair/ship building. I want to give a series of talks, to raise funds for charity, on what was an essential industry to Mersey side and put bread on the table for countless thousands.

I am looking for photos of the various trades employed in ship building/repair to illustrate such talks photos,descriptions of: Boilermakers/welders/riveters/platers. Foundry workers. Shipwights. Riggers. Engineers/Electricians. Ships painters. Photos of ships undergoing repairs.
Any help in tracking down such sources would be most welcome.
Graysonlad.
