Winston Churchill speech - Sail on oh ship of state.
"The other day President Roosevelt gave his opponent in the late presidential election a letter of introduction to me. And in it he wrote out a verse in his own hand- writing, from Longfellow. It applies to you people as it does to us.
Here is the verse:- 'Sail on, oh ship of state, Sail on, oh union strong and great; Humanity with all its fears, With all the hopes of future years, Is hanging breathless on they faith.'
What is the answer that I shall give in your name to this great man? The thrice chosen head of a nation of 130 million. Here is the answer which I will give to President Roosevelt. Put your confidence in us - give us your faith and your blessing and under Providence all will be well. We shall not fail or falter, we shall not weaken or tire - neither the sudden shock of battle nor the long drawn trails of vigilance or exertion will wear us down. Give us the tools and we will finish the job."

Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
