- Quotes
Joe Drummond: But you're working on the Clyde, boy, and that's an honour in itself if you'd the sense to see it. Ship-building started here more than a hundred years ago. Take away the Clyde and Britain would be sunk in any war we ever had to fight. This is the cradle of the craft my lad, all about you.

Featured review
Pleasant film about a dull subject
Shipbuilding and designing is not exactly the most exciting of subjects.The fact that this film holds the attention is a tribute to the cast of fine Scottish actors.Gordon Jackson was a fine actor who starred in many films,opposite his wife to be Rona Ashrton.No film about Scotland would be complete without an appearance by John Lauri.The comedian Jimmy Logan plays Jackson's bst friend.The story is focused on Jacksons ambition to become a ship designer and the obstacles he has to overcome to achieve that ambition.I am sure that the inhabitants of Glasgow will be fascinated to see what their city looked like just after the war,when I still had a significant part to play in the building of the ships of the world.
