Gritty, lots of max black, if you like that kind of thing.

Wow, great. I really liked them, especially the one of North Islands and the Shipwright (I did my PhD on deindustrialisation in the Swedish shipbuilding industry).

Saddens me to see the picture of the 'last ship to be built on the Tees'. I can hear Elvis Costello's 'Shipbuilding' song in my head.

Wonderful images.

I was born and return frequently to Greenock, a shipbuilding town in Scotland that is a ghost of its former self.

We not only lost the trades and the industry; we lost the community along with it.

Fine work in this series, thanks for sharing it!

I love looking at work prints from other photographers, and these are great. Also appreciate the shout out to the K1000!

This link from the Flow Gallery gives you a better idea of what the prints look like:
