Synopsis

Based on a memoir plucked from his family history, A Pipers Tale records the impressions made on a teenager as he makes his way into the thorny world of shipbuilding.

A world in which the author, during the 1960s, witnessed the change from traditional shipbuilding - where vessels were constructed with a minimum, but adequate, level of technical support via long established trade practices and skills - to the cutting-edge of science-based projects as the Yard at Barrow became a ‘Leader in Marine Technology’ with the making of sophisticated warships and first-of-class vessels.

Also covered, whilst saluting the yard’s plumbing fraternity, is the writer’s amazement at the wealth of characters and personalities encountered.
