From luxury liner to 60s super-tanker, Britain's shipbuilders big up their export business in a funky and slightly bizarre promotional film.

Britannia rules the shipbuilding trade - or does she? Britain touts its marine construction expertise in this oddly mesmerising state-sponsored plug from 1966. All stages of production and types of vessel are covered - from research into the design of cargo ships to the fitting out of passenger liners, with an emphasis on the endless search for 'modern methods' which would attract potential custom.

All the stages of ship construction from the initial research and testing, use
of computer to produce specifications, to launching and fitting out.
