Standing proudly against the backdrop of a North East shipyard, we see the magnificent tanker Esso Exeter just moments after its grand launch. The sheer size and elegance of this vessel are awe-inspiring, as it symbolizes the epitome of engineering marvels from the 1950s. Surrounded by bustling activity, two sturdy tugs flank the Esso Exeter, their powerful engines ready to guide her on her maiden voyage. The scene is filled with anticipation and excitement as workers and spectators alike gather to witness this monumental occasion. It is a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance that such colossal structures can be crafted by skilled hands. The craftsmanship involved in constructing this tanker is evident in every detail captured by NCJ - Kemsley's lens. From its sleek hull design to its towering smokestacks, every element exudes strength and purpose.

As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back in time; our imaginations ignited with stories of daring voyages across vast oceans.
