23:01Now Playing"It should give us a chance to show the old men that we can do even better than they did."
BBC Scottish film unit documentary, filmed over two years, following the design and construction of job 736 (Q4) at John Brown's shipyard on the Clyde. The job is being undertaken for Cunard Line, and will be the latest in its line of "Queens" ocean liners, following on from Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary. It presents the modern day shipworkers with an opportunity to match - and perhaps even eclipse - the achievements of the previous generation of shipbuilders.
Presented by Jameson Clark.
Song "Ballad of the Q4" by Matt McGinn.
Clip taken from Queen of the Clyde, originally broadcast on BBC Scotland, 19 September, 1967.
