The way the wording is written is very like a newspaper writers style and I assumed that you had taken it from their records, nowt wrong in that.

The bow photo taken weeks before launch as scaffolding still in place or getting ready to start painting, plates missing at deck level, still to be fitted.

There has been other photos of the Bow all finished and Hull all painted days before launch. Those could well have been taken by you Norman.

These photos can be seen if you Google the ship and some are on the Chronicle website.
