Stunning photographs, not seen anything of her build like these before

Every time I see these photos I am fascinated by the detail and the story they tell. 

On the first batch of photos (nos. 3,4,5) you see the teak decking being laid on a "dreich" Scottish day. I always imagined that the decking would have been laid later in the build process when there was less chance of damage but that does not seem to be the case.

Final batch

Thank you very much Jane, for posting these fabulous historical photos!
Seeing her funnel being fitted is WONDERFUL
Nice to see the picture of John Brown's sign on the building too!!

We all owe you a GREAT BIG HUG!
