Description

This early 20th century British History photo features a group of women workers at a shipbuilding yard along River Clyde in Scotland during the First World War. After the introduction of conscription, shipyards were facing enormous pressure to produce ships for war but were struggling to find workers. So they employed women to boost the workforce with the result that between 1914 and 1917 Clydeside shipyards manufactured an incredible 481 ships.
