In this photo print, we are transported back to the bustling docks of the 1960s. The focal point of the image is a colossal floating dock that seems to effortlessly glide into the Tyne River, almost unnoticed. This remarkable structure was meticulously constructed by Swan Hunter and Wigham Richardsons Wallsend in 1961, showcasing their unparalleled craftsmanship. The sheer size and magnitude of this floating dock leave us in awe as we imagine its immense capabilities. With every detail captured flawlessly by NCJ's lens, one can't help but wonder about its purpose and destination. As history tells us, this engineering marvel will soon embark on an epic journey across vast waters to Apapa in Nigeria. Surrounded by tugs and other vessels indicative of a thriving industrial landscape, this photograph encapsulates the spirit of progress during an era defined by rapid growth and innovation. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it evokes feelings of nostalgia for an era where industry thrived along riverbanks like the Tyne.
