Instead of going on about this and that misery, why not just appreciate how beautifully made the film was and how heroic were the people in it.

I work at a ship yard we do the same shit now lol

[@corvavw6447]

Top documentaire 😊

[@dieseldavetrains8988]

Back in an era when Britain, Scotland and Ireland built the worlds best merchant ships. A very hard days work for a fair days wage? Great video, well done.

[@patrickryan6065]

Such hard work, most became deaf because of this ruthless work. Certainly tough men indeed.

[@avalondreaming1433]

My grandfather lost most of his hearing and several fingers. No worker's comp in those days. This was in the U.S.

I remember seeing the Orion when I went to Barrow with my Dad, must have been in the very early Sixties. We went on the train, a great treat for me at the time

[@steverose7112]

RMS Orion served through WW2 as a troop ship Survived till 1963

[@thebrothers3971]

I wondered about her life story.

[@nicholasmaude6906]

The Orion was followed a year in 1936 with the launch of the Orcades which in the end was torpedoed in the War by U-172 a couple of hundred miles south-west of South Africa but only after being hit by seven torpedoes before sinking in three-miles of water.

Love it , cheers mate.🇦🇺👍

[@kennethmorrison7689]

Just look at how hard these people had to work and at those little shit-house places they were forced to live in.

[@nicholasmaude6906]

This video should have subtitles because the narrator's voice is so quiet it is difficult, sometimes impossible, to hear what he's saying over the shipyard noises.

[@johnelliott6408]

It shows in the end that the builders really didnt bask in the glory of it all..

[@johnelliott6408]

I bet a ship builders life in that small town was awesome...

[@KR72534]

Low pay, long hours, laid off between job, no safety net if injured. You are very naive.

[@nicholasmaude6906]

The shipyard and its town must've been hit hard with the collapse of the British shipbuilding industry in the 1960s.

[@kenpatterson163]

Barrow is a Navy yard and almost exclusively builds submarines for the RN. Workforce is a third of what it. members of my family still work there.

[@BR-bj3ot]

The way it should still be! Hard working, tough MEN, building things. No regulations. No ridiculous OSHA rules. Just God fearing, tough men who did their job and very well!

[@emanueletolomeo1322]

Interesting

[@Davidculshaw70]

I lived in barrow from the Early 80s great town and pubs…left in 2005 for Australia, great decision, never looked back.

[@esmeephillips5888]

The only woman in the film is the posh lady glimpsed 20 seconds before the end.

[@ypaulbrown]

wonderful

[@gmendes1831]

Thanks }:O)

[@rogersimpson4061]

What happed when it rained did they still keep working

[@clivelondt3433]

Back in the Old days many a smart ships were built, in British Ship Yards. There was work for Thousands of Workers. In those days it was very hard working. Today every thing is all modern technology.

[@PillSharks]

Just you all remember… diversity built Britain!

[@roconnor01]

I wonder what those hard working men thought of all the VIP's and local dignitaries who went off for a champagne lunch afterwards !

[@josephinebennington7247]

They knew it wasn’t their place or station. Wouldn’t have heard the speeches anyway, being deaf from the rivetting.

[@patpatpat999]

Pretty sure all sound and dialog were added afterward

[@damiengolledge9033]

Absolutely fantastic. Given the fact orion still had no interiors no engines no boilers mo woodwork no life boats ECT yet fitted,, I must say there was less work in a pyramid. As of titanic all of the work to be lost including 3000 dozen eggs simply to be taken buy the ocean...

[@samsum3738]

At the launch , when the ropes stretched and broke , the power generated was able to cut a man in half if they strayed too close to the slip and indeed this happened on numerous occasions ovet the years .

[@ricksadler797]

They built better stuff then, then we do now

[@davidpryle3935]

No safety gear of any description, not even a pair of gloves. Also, very uncomfortable looking, ordinary clothes, for work gear.

[@Davidculshaw70]

So many people died from asbestos related illnesses

[@njohns1088]

Would love to of lived in them days

[@Councilconstruction]

Really , I lived in barrow , not the best place to live. Most in those days lived 7 to 10 people in a terraced house that worked in vickers

[@Councilconstruction]

70% of the town worked in Vickers those days, worked to live, nothing glamorous about those days, however we made some great ships and submarines. A precocial town , everyone knows everything and everyone.

[@Davidculshaw70]

So many died from asbestos related diseases…sad but true.

[@davidthompson6834]

A welder is a boilermaker with his brains battered Out as my dad use to say 🤭

[@butters_]

Who edited this ? 💀 unbearable to watch

[@buy.to.let.britain]

my grandfather worked here, in the sex shop.

[@GTAAmpelAnhalter]

the look in the guys face at 23:33 says it all. He worked his ass of to earn some money and now this ship will carry rich and famous people wo dont even bother to look down to the working class men and appreciate their honest and hard work. I feel him. He must be long dead by now and under that work sircumstances... lets say yourt life doesnt get longer. Poor lads back then, such skillfull and talented guys.

[@JohnAnderson-ss9vn]

no health and safety in those days scary working conditions

[@jeffpotipco736]

See all the diversity?

[@HorseMalone]

I was just going to say the same thing !

[@DavidSmith-fe2ws]

The numbe rof work related accidents must have been high? Great film

[@maxasaurus3008]

Crazy seeing that hot work under the hammer! You can see the white and intellectually I know it’s hot but with the black and white I can’t tell HOW hot! Crazy! Reminds me of learning aluminum. 🤯❤

[@_photonx6017]

That is the strangest documentary I have ever seen. Fascinating.
