Documentary looking at the unique culture that developed in the Clyde shipyards of Scotland, where the Queen Mary, the Queen Elizabeth, and the QE2 ocean liners were constructed.
Many of the most renowned passenger liners in history were built in the British Isles, with several being constructed in the shipyards along the banks of the Clyde. Timeshift combines personal testimonies and archival footage to paint a vivid picture of the distinctive culture that emerged in the Clyde shipyards. Despite enduring some of the harshest working conditions in industrial history and facing challenging labor relations, it was in these shipyards that the Queen Mary, the Queen Elizabeth, and the QE2 were built. The Clyde shipbuilders' pride in their craftsmanship, coupled with strong public support, was so significant that in 1971 they successfully resisted a government attempt to shut down the shipyards and secured the right to continue shipbuilding.
