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 starboard of the head of the berth looking down, aft and slightly to port showing the ship taking shape on the building blocks. The hull from station 2½ to the stern is almost complete except that the side plating from stations 2½ to 7 on the port side and from stations 2½ to 15 on the starboard side is only up to number 4 deck level. Scaffolding has been erected outside the hull from station 5 aft. On the adjoining berth on the left is the tanker Lincoln (1958), yard number 707, very near launching stage in her construction. On the berth on the right is the hull of the tanker British Judge (1959), yard number 705, nearing completion.
