Yarmouth (1959) under construction.

A 3½x4¾ glass plate negative. The Type 12 frigate Yarmouth (1959) under construction in the East Yard of John Brown & Co Ltd's shipyard at Clydebank. The photographer is on a crane to port of the berth looking down, aft and to starboard showing prefabricated sections of the keel and lower hull on the building blocks on the berth. The sections 19 to the stern are in place and supported on timber struts. The side plating from stations 35½ to the stern has been completed. Everything forward of station 27 is out of the picture. Scaffolding has been erected outside the hull. On the adjoining berth in the background is the tanker Lincoln (1958), yard number 707, under construction.
