Shipyard
to Comfortable Living
In
April 1861 London Yard was the scene of a launching of a state-of-the-art
warship - HMS Resistance.
The
iron-cased frigate Resistance was launched from the yard of Messrs. Westwood,
Baillie and Co., by whom she has been built. It was quite a gala day in the Isle
of Dogs. The whole population seemed to have turned out to do honour to the
launch, and with the large additions of visitors every point of view on both
shores was crowded with spectators. There were three bands of music — viz.
those of the 1st Life Guards, the Marine Society, and the 6th Tower Hamlets
Rifles. A triumphal arch of evergreens, with flags waving above it, and an
inscription in honour of the Lady Mayoress, was erected at the principal
entrance-gate. At two o’clock the Lady Mayoress, who stood on a platform at
the vessel’s bow, surrounded by a great number of City dignitaries, dashed the
bottle against the beak, wishing at the same time ”Success to the
Resistance." (Extract from the London Illustrated News)
