This print captures a momentous scene from the 1990s, showcasing the mighty Ton class minesweeper HMS Kellington as it is expertly towed under the iconic Tees Transporter Bridge. The image transports us back to August 16th, 1993, when this impressive vessel embarked on its journey to Stockton. The bridge's towering structure frames the picture perfectly, emphasizing both its architectural grandeur and functional significance in facilitating transportation across the River Tees. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but marvel at the seamless coordination between military and civilian forces that made this intricate maneuver possible. HMS Kellington stands proudly amidst the river's gentle currents, embodying strength and resilience. Its presence serves as a reminder of our navy's unwavering commitment to safeguarding our waters.
