EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment when the Great Eastern steam ship, a marvel of maritime engineering for the 1850s, entered Holyhead harbor in Anglesey, Wales, in 1859. The Great Eastern, with its impressive size and advanced technology, revolutionized ocean travel during that era. Its arrival marked a significant milestone in the development of transportation and communication between Ireland and Wales with the mainland of England. In the foreground of the image, the obelisk monument dedicated to Captain MacGregor Skinner stands proudly. Skinner, a renowned mariner and harbor master, played a pivotal role in the growth of Holyhead as a major port. His monument serves as a testament to his contributions and enduring legacy. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of innovation and progress. The Great Eastern's arrival at Holyhead harbor not only marked the beginning of a new chapter in transportation history but also symbolized the close connection between Wales, Anglesey, and the wider world. This photograph is an essential piece of historical documentation, preserving the memory of a time when the world seemed a little smaller and the possibilities seemed endless.
