Day 244: The Beardmore Sculpture

 
 
This is at the entrance to the Beardmore Naval Construction Works est. 1906
and closed in 1930.  It marks the disembarkation point of 13,000 workers
who were employed by the yard in its heyday.
 
The ship is the dreadnought "Ramillies"which was launched from Beardmore's in 1916
and the sculpture is made from steel components of the ship.
