This 3 minute YouTube video shows a timelapse of a large ship being built from start to finish over the course of several months at a shipyard in China. Workers are seen welding hull plates together, installing engines and other machinery, adding the superstructure, and performing other construction tasks to gradually transform the bare steel framework into a completed cargo ship ready for sea trials.
