Seawards the Great Ships is a 1961 British short documentary film directed by Hilary Harris. It won an Academy Award in 1962 for Best Short Live Action Subject, the first Scottish film to win an Oscar. The film chronicles the Shipbuilding industry of the River Clyde during the early 1960s, featuring footage from the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company, John Brown & Company and Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company. It was produced by Glasgow-based Templar Films for the Clyde Shipbuilders' Association and the Central Office of Information (COI). It was released onto Blu-ray by Panamint in 2010 as part of their 'Faces of Scotland' compilation.

It includes dialogue between shipyard workers, but this is all scripted. They had hoped to use genuine dialogue between shipyard workers, but this included too many swearwords to be usable.

L'extrémité d'une digue, avec des enfants et des femmes en habit traditionnel. Une barque entre dans le champ de la caméra par la droite, souquée par deux hommes dirigés par un troisième. L'esquif tente de contourner la pointe de la digue, mais la houle la repousse, la met de travers et le contournement est interrompu par la fin du bobineau de pellicule.
