EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the bustling energy of the 1960s maritime industry, this print showcases a Shelloil tanker in action at her berth at the Queen Elizabeth II oil dock in Eastham, Wirral. The image transports us back to April 1963 when this vital hub on Merseyside was abuzz with activity. In the foreground, we witness the impressive vessel unloading its precious cargo, symbolizing the crucial role of oil in powering our world. But there is more to behold in this remarkable snapshot. In the background, a ship gracefully glides up the Manchester Ship canal against a backdrop of both River Mersey and Lancashire shorelines. This juxtaposition highlights not only the interconnectedness of waterways but also serves as a testament to Britain's thriving shipping industry during that era.
