EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a historic moment in the maritime history of Hull, Yorkshire, as King George V and his royal party approach the dais to declare the opening of the newly constructed joint dock on 26th June 1914. The King, dressed in full regalia, is accompanied by members of the royal family and dignitaries, all with expressions of anticipation and excitement. The newly built dock, a testament to the city's industrial prowess, looms in the background, its modern facilities and advanced technology a symbol of progress and innovation. The crowd, gathered on the quayside, eagerly await the formal opening ceremony, their faces reflecting a sense of pride and unity. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and tradition, as well as a moment of hope and optimism before the onset of the First World War. The image is a powerful reminder of the historical significance of Hull's maritime heritage and the enduring allure of the sea.
