Summary

Description
English: View of the destroyer HMS Boyne in dry dock at the shipyard of Hawthorn Leslie, Hebburn, 1904 (TWAM ref. 2931 Misc57).

HMS Boyne was a River Class destroyer launched by Hawthorn Leslie on 12 September 1904. During the early part of the First World War she carried out anti-submarine work as part of the 9th Destroyer Flotilla. From August 1915 onwards HMS Boyne belonged to the 7th Destroyer Flotilla based on the River Humber.
The shipyard of R. & W. Hawthorn Leslie at Hebburn built many fine warships. During the First World War the firm built 2 light cruisers, 3 destroyer leaders and 25 torpedo boat destroyers. The firm also built machinery and boilers for 2 battleships, and a further 3 light cruisers. These and other warships built by Hawthorn Leslie before the War, are remembered in this set.
There are remarkable images of warships under construction at Hebburn, as well as fascinating shots of the people who attended the launches. The set also contains majestic views of the ships at sea. The images are not only a testimony to the skill of those who designed and built these ships but also to the courage of those who sailed in them.
