Bow view of the 'Aquitania' (1914) on the stocks
The passenger liner 'Aquitania' (1914) under construction by John Brown & Co Ltd at Clydebank. A general view along the port side of the ship. A bucket dredger is working on the River Clyde in the distance.
In the foreground is the area where several buildings were demolished in order to clear sufficient space for construction of the 'Aquitania'. The seven electric derrick cranes along each side of the building berth were supplied and erected by Sir William Arrol & Co Ltd of Dalmarnock, Glasgow.
