As the new website continues now at www.theloftsman.com
The Blog on the new website will be the main source of news from now on and this new Blog will be even better with all the news on Leith Built Ships and so much more, such as the new shipyard shop about to open over there.
Will be opening soon,
we have been working on this new concept for a wee while now, with the advent
of the virus pandemic this has presented some more unexpected challenges. No
more than anyone else has had to contend with but challenges just the same.
All under the logo
They Once Were Shipbuilders
(You will be able to
fill in the location with your own preference)
My own particular
preference was of course the Henry Robb Shipyard at Leith.
The aim of the shop
is to present the customer with unique purchases that you will not find
elsewhere. This will be a shop that will be a testament to a lost industry that
touched so many people.
The Shipyard Shop
will feature many fresh designs which cover an old concept, the concept of
building ships.
Powerful industrial
images now almost gone, but the memory lingers on, images that now sit very
well on every day things from caps, hats to t-shirts to wall coverings.
We are sure that once
the Shipyard Shop opens you will find what you are looking for, in a way that
no other shop can, as we are also from the industry, an industry that employed
so many people not only on this small island nation of ours but all around the
World.
We will feature
superb museum quality ship models covering many of the greatest ships ever to
grace the seven seas.
We feature the Ship
Beautiful above otherwise known as RMS Aquitania
Thes are not kits but
fully assembled models shipped in sturdy containers to your door and ready to
display. Some have LED lighting inside for a tremendous night-time effect.
Many of our original
designs can be personalised so that you can input your own personal favourite,
so please keep a look out for this happening, keep checking back here on the
Blog, and on the main website.
Thanks to all and
keep safe during these trying times.
