I have the good fortune of living some five miles away from the site of the Lusitania's building and sadly West Dunbartonshire Council has recently started to demolish the former John Brown & Co. shipyard at Clydebank.
Until this summer, a number of cranes that were visible in the photos of the Lusiatnia's launch in Diana Preston's book were still stahnding. Now, all that is left is the 1905 hammerhead crane by (none other than) William Arroll & Co.
Buildings containing the original marble tables the ships were drawn on will soon be going too... Alas!
However, as well as the hammerhead crane, presumably the fitting out basin and some 19th century terrace housing will be staying.
