A Sideways Launch - The Story of the Pollock Shipyard in Faversham Kent

Описание к видео A Sideways Launch - The Story of the Pollock Shipyard in Faversham Kent

The film tells the story of the shipyard established in Faversham, Kent, by James Pollock & Sons ( Shipbuilders ) in 1916. The shipyard was developed at the request of Lord Fisher, the First Lord of the Admiralty. Faversham already had a tradition of shipbuilding, and soon became a major contributor to markets throughout the world. The film explores through interviews and original archive footage the development that took place on Faversham Creek, with frank and often humorous anecdotes from some of the workforce. The film is intended to chronicle Faversham, the shipyard but most importantly of all, the people that gave most of their working lives to an industry that has now mostly been forgotten.
