A 2¼ square roll film negative. A deck view of the Type 12 frigate Yarmouth (1959) alongside the south-east corner of the fitting out basin in John Brown & Co Ltd's shipyard at Clydebank. The photographer is on the forecastle between the anchor cables looking aft at the gun turret, bridge, director and foremast. The tip of the foremast is out of the picture. The stern of the tanker Derby (1960) can be seen in the basin on the extreme right. The tanker Kent (1960), yard number 708, is on the building berth in the background.
