Old Photograph Dockyard Invergordon Scotland

Old photograph of the dockyard in Invergordon, Ross and Cromarty, Scotland. In the early 1900's Invergordon became a naval base; the Firth was thought suitable because of the channel depth and frequently had visits from the Home Fleet. During the First World War, from 1914 to 1918, Invergordon was a full scale base for the Royal Navy, providing fuel oil, water and dockyard repairs. The town's population mushroomed when 6,000 people came to work in the dockyards.
