Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Members of the launch party of HMS Kelly at the shipyard of Hawthorn Leslie, Hebburn, 25 October 1938 (TWAM ref. 4923/3). She was launched by Miss Antonia Kelly, daughter of Sir John Kelly, Admiral of the Fleet.

This image is taken from an album produced by the world famous shipbuilding and engineering firm of Hawthorn Leslie. The album gives us a fascinating glimpse of life at the company's shipyard at Hebburn from the late 1930s to the 1960s. There are remarkable images of the men at work in the yard and a poignant series showing the terrible damage caused during the Second World War to HMS Kelly, one of Hawthorn Leslie's best loved ships.

This particular collection of images follows the Birth and ultimate Death of a ship. From the craft and pride in its production and the joy in its performance, to the devastation and price of its destruction.

A blog about this fascinating collection can been viewed here on the Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums website.
