The firm of Cammell Laird originated in a boiler works in 1824 before growing and diversifying to become one of a small number of companies worldwide which could build, armor and arm the largest warships from the operations of a single company group. After World War I, it was reconstructed as a naval and mercantile shipbuilder with important financial interests in steel and rolling stock manufacture. Booming activity in World War II and continuing prosperity until the late 1950s was followed by increasing competition and deepening problems. By the 1980s the firm’s remaining steel interests had failed; in 1993 the once great Birkenhead shipyard closed. How and why did the businesses grow, then experience such problems and eventually collapse? This book tries to find answers. "... this study will be of great value to those researching the development of heavy industry in Britain."—Business History "... a gold mine of information and guidance for future historians."—Nautical Research Journal

We thought we had it tough with a test. As history shows, politics was at one time the only way on to the patrol. I can only guess what must have been required in order to be appointed. Politicians could tell you or your family that his quota for this year was filled but perhaps next year he could do something. They could put that particular carrot on a stick and dangle it for a solid year. All politicians need to be elected or re-elected, so one may have been asked to help in some small way. Perhaps they might work the polls, offer to distribute literature, walk the streets campaigning for the man, or offer a child up as a sacrificial lamb if need be. Of course, there were never any blood alters found in the ruins of old Atlantic City, but a dagger or two have shown up and "et tu Brutus" was heard uttered after many an election.All who were lifeguards, be it for a single year, a decade, or in some cases more than half a century, are the reason sons and daughters were born and some families even exist today. We did, in one very important way, alter the world. We saved lives. We shared in helping Atlantic City to become the Queen she was. This is the tradition of the Atlantic City Beach Patrol.
