Whatever happened to British shipbuilding?

This online lecture from Newcastle University in 2020, currently with only 666 views and presented by Dr Paul Stott, Senior Lecturer in Marine Production and Shipping Market Analysis, Marine, Offshore and Subsea Technology, School of Engineering, Newcastle University. Is a fascinating watch with lots of interesting snippets, such as to build a typical wooden Royal Navy ship, around 6000 mature Oak trees were needed that would cover 30-50 acres of land, but there is much more in the presentation covering the period 1892 to 2020.

Please take a look and enjoy!
