Denis Tuohy talks to William Ross who was born in Wolverhampton at the turn of the century. As a young man he emigrated to the United States where he worked as a naval architect until his retirement.

Reporters James Astor, Jeremy James, Jeanne La Chard, John Pitman, Denis Tuohy, Desmond Wilcox, Harold Williamson
