The ship was remarkable in that it was the first nuclear-powered merchant ship. It was constructed with funding from United States government agencies with the mission to prove that the US was committed to the proposition of using atomic power for peace and part of President Eisenhower's larger "Atoms for Peace" project. The sleek and modern design of the ship led to some maritime historians believing it was the prettiest merchant ship ever built. This china embodies both the mission of using nuclear power for peace while incorporating the design inclinations of the ship.

  • Queens Quay Street Names
    QUEENS QUAY DESIGN CODES ANNEX 2: STREET NAMING 07 September 2020 anderson bell + christie Queens Quay: Design Codes 69 Queens Quay Design Codes – Annexe 2: Street Naming Strategy and Proposed Street Names This consultation document includes the Street Naming Strategy for Queens Quay and the suggested list of street names that have emerged from the Strategy, based on the heritage and stories of the site and local area. These were approved for consultation by the Planning Committee on 19th August 2020. Street Naming Strategy 1. Purpose This annexe seeks to set out the principles to be adopted by West Dunbartonshire Council in applying a clear, contextualised and scalable street naming strategy to the Queens Quay site in Clydebank. In line with established good practice, all street names will seek to reference the heritage of the site and surrounding area, layering narratives that will enable the new residents and its visitors to build an engaged and evolving relationship with the town and locality. The street naming approach actively seeks to contribute positively to an overarching sense of place and identity within Clydebank and West Dunbartonshire. 2. Heritage context Although the immediate heritage context for the Queens Quay site is the redevelopment of John Brown’s shipyard, it is notable that the very existence of the shipyard relied on the pre-existing contours of an enduring landscape. While the confluence of the Rivers Clyde and Cart made it possible to launch ships that travelled around the globe, to the north of the town the Kilpatrick Hills are a reminder in their archaeology that this land was settled for reasons of travel and trade long before the arrival of the shipyard.
