Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Pounds family business, rooted in Portsmouth's shipbreaking heritage, reveals how naval relics became ferries, museums, and everyday marvels through a history of transformation and resilience.For many years anyone driving into Portsmouth would be treated to the surprising roadside sight of warships, submarines and small craft in various states of demolition. This fleeting glimpse was all that most would ever see of the extraordinary business of the Pounds family, which ranged from shipbreaking to selling war-surplus military vehicles. This book tells their story.After beginnings in general scrap in the 1860s, Pounds started breaking up ships in 1921 with German U-Boats. Proximity to the royal dockyard at Portsmouth meant they were able to secure naval shipping ranging from Royal Navy submarines and frigates down to unusual dockyard vessels and landing craft. In due course ships were also bought from the US and European navies. The emphasis of the business turned to ship trading - for example, landing craft might be resold to become ferries, minesweepers turned into Mediterranean pleasure craft, and lightships converted into floating restaurants. Vessels that could not be sold, lingered in the yard for many years - some Victorian ships lasted until well into the 1970s and beyond - but Pounds were also alert to the historical significance of the craft in their possession, some of which were donated to heritage organisations for long term conservation, a notable example being a Japanese Kairu midget submarine.The Pounds yard was a bizarre landscape and film companies were quick to see the potential of this unusual setting. Probably the most notable example was the 1974 film Tommy in which Pounds' marker buoys were painted silver and to depict giant pinballs.A fascinating family business, Pounds finally closed its doors in 2023. Although visitors were never encouraged, the author was permitted to visit and photograph the Pounds yard on many occasions. Furthermore, the Pounds family have also kindly lent him business records and their own photos and discussed many aspects of their story. Appendices on military vehicles and a detailed list of all ships bought since 1921 complete a comprehensive and authoritative account of an extraordinary enterprise.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The breakers yard at Cairnryan has witnessed the final days of many famous ships including aircraft carriers such as HMS Ark Royal as well as humbler merchantmen and smaller warships. There have also been former Soviet submarines, a nuclear fuel carrier and in the immediate post war days, a couple of battleships. Indeed this booklet was originally intended as a history of Ship-breaking (Queensborough) Ltd (SQL), the company that broke up many of these vessels between 1969 and 1991. However there has been far more to the history of Cairnryan military port than shipbreaking. Copyright A© G. C. Book Publishers Ltd.…
