We're finishing up here at the Ballast Trust for the holidays this afternoon. For our final photo of 2012, I'm very happy to share this Christmas card that we found in amongst some of Bill's odds and sods of headed notepaper and supplies of blank stationery.

It was an official Christmas card for British Shipbuilders who were the nationalised company that owned and operated British shipyards from 1977 until the late 1980s.

You may have already seen the image on the Scottish Council on Archives website as part of their Christmas in the Archives feature.




We will be closed for the Christmas and New Year holidays from Friday 21st December 2012 to Monday 7th January 2013 (inclusive).
