  Hi There Zeb.

  I Think think the answer to your question is:-

  Ship Wright.  His Majesty's Dock Yard.
 

  Kind Regards

Thanks Smiley

Just had to look up "shipwright" (aka shipwane) and found out it he designed and built ships! Cheesy

That was for my girlfriend.  She's just made my tree feel inferior by telling me she's also got someone in the family who built Spitfire engines.  Best I've got so far is a leather book binder  Grin
