EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the bustling River Tees in Cleveland during the 1970s. The image showcases the impressive shuttle tanker Darina as it is skillfully towed to its designated berth at the Shell oil terminal on a crisp September day in 1979. The sheer size of the vessel commands attention, dominating the frame with its towering presence. Its sleek design and robust structure speak volumes about its role in transporting vital resources across vast distances. As it glides through the calm waters of River Tees, one can't help but marvel at the engineering marvel that is this tanker. The surrounding scene exudes an air of industrial activity, hinting at a thriving economy driven by exports and imports. Tugs diligently guide Darina towards her destination, showcasing their crucial role in ensuring safe navigation for these colossal ships. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to Teesside's rich maritime heritage. It reminds us of how transport played an integral part in shaping local industries and connecting communities worldwide. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot captured by an anonymous staff member, we are reminded of both our past achievements and our ongoing reliance on transportation networks that keep our world moving forward.
