Scope and content
Britain's biggest post-war merchant ship, the 15,000 ton Corinthic caught fire in her fitting put yard of her builders, Messrs. Cammell Laird at Birkenhead, on the river Mersey.
More than 10 firemen fought the fire and had to stop pumping water into her as she developed a dangerous list.
Photo shows: A view from the air showing the blazing Corinthic listing badly in the Birkenhead shipyard, Merseyside.
