The image showcases the vibrant energy of the docks with an England colour format that beautifully captures the essence of this era. In the foreground, we witness a majestic vessel sailing gracefully through calm waters. Its grandeur is accentuated by the surrounding landscape, which exudes a sense of tranquility despite being a hive of industrial activity.
