EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable feat of engineering from the 1950s. Standing tall in the River Wear at Sunderland, we witness the awe-inspiring sight of the Andwi, a colossal Norwegian tanker weighing an impressive 18,250 tons. What makes this vessel truly extraordinary is its construction process - built in two parts and then seamlessly joined together in dry dock. The image showcases the momentous occasion when this mammoth ship was christened while still afloat. The sheer scale of the Andwi becomes evident as it dominates the river's landscape, exuding strength and power with its robust structure. Its sleek design hints at its efficiency as a mode of transport for goods across vast distances. One cannot help but marvel at the ingenuity behind such an endeavor; to construct such a massive vessel piece by piece and meticulously assemble it into one cohesive unit is no small feat. This photo serves as a testament to human innovation and determination during an era defined by progress. Preserved through time by NCJ - Kemsley on Memory Lane Prints, this image not only provides us with a glimpse into maritime history but also invites us to appreciate both the beauty and functionality of these magnificent ships that played an integral role in global trade during their heyday.
