| Once a ship is built - It is launched from the slipway and then fitted out elsewhere in the shipyard. Aircraft Carrier number 4 being fitted out here. |

| Two Aircraft Carriers being fitted out, I believe H&W built several Aircraft carriers for the Royal Navy around this time. In fact on this very photo I have seen 4! I will mark in other two |

Hi, you are right, there are four carriers in the picture, all of the 1942 Fleet design. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majestic_class_aircraft_carrier By the date, they would be Warrior, Magnificent, Hercules and Powerful. |

| This is the Arrol Gantry - Designed by the same designer as the Fourth Railway Bridge, William Arrol. In 1908, this enormous steel gantry was erected over two new slipways,2 and 3. They were built specifically for the construction of Olympic and Titanic, the largest ships ever built. The gantry was 840 feet long by 240 feet wide, could accommodate both ships and weighed over 6,000 tons. It fell into disuse and was removed in the 1960's for scrap! |
