Outside a Submarine in the mid Atlantic checking for damage?

Or could it be the window cleaners working on the roof of the St Enoch centre?

The day after tomorrow, just before he falls through the glass?

Never imagined Jesus to look like that.

That's a fine example of time travel Donald.
Of course, it's the Carrick and that's the Irvine Maritime Museum quayside, 2015.

Does my bum look big in this?

Is it SS Great Britain in Bristol or a similarly sounding ship name in somewhere like Bristol?

Charlie Farlie wins a Cream o' the Barley.

It is indeed the SS Great Britain, Brunel's steam sailing ship launched in 1843, now in a form of restoration/recreation in Bristol after being recovered from a bay in the Falklands where she was scuttled in the 30s.

Well worth a visit if you're in the area. Incidentally, the engines were taken out after she'd completed 30 years or so as a passenger vessel. Engineless, she sailed as a cargo clipper for many years.

And the reason for the glass ceiling? The hull below the waterline is very badly corroded, so it is sealed off, and there are heaters blowing warm dry air to help preserve the iron and stop the whole clamjamfery rotting away to a pile of rust.

Could the same idea be applied to the Forth Road Bridge before it collapses on the East Coasters?

Well, they're currently trying something not unlike that, by blowing dehumidified air along the rusting suspension cables. Whether or not it will have much effect remains to be seen.
