Lord W G Armstrong's River Tyne shipyards at Elswick and Low Walker achieved worldwide fame for turning out well-built vessels of many types. From cruisers and battleships to icebreakers and oil tankers, the combined output of the two yards ships to owners throughout the globe spanned nearly a century. This book offers a celebration of Armstrong.

Ken Smith is a maritime historian who has written many books on the history of the Tyne and its ships. Dick Keys is a retired seaman and maritime historian. Both authors live on Tyneside.
