HMS Belfast Press Desk have announced that HMS Belfast, London’s Floating Naval Museum, is preparing a family-orientated exhibition using hands-on and computerised interactive displays to demonstrate techniques of shipbuilding, from the ‘age of sail’ to modern prefabrication methods.  Graphic elements will concentrate strongly on the socio-historical aspects of the industry, for example, the role of women in the shipbuilding industry during the Second World War. http://hmsbelfast.iwm.org.uk/server/show/ConWebDoc.4922
