Description: A Columbia production available only to schools. "A documentary presentation of the building of the English passenger liner Queen Elizabeth, covering the actual construction steps from the time the keel was laid to the christening of the Queen and the launching in the Clyde River." "Aerial shots of the ship's arrival in New York harbor add to the interest." "Recommended for social studies in junior and senior high school. The treatment is factual. Labor is well shown in relation to industrial production. A sequence showing the men who build ships suggests possible use for college sociology. Excellent vocational training information."
