EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the bustling Middlesbrough Docks on a crisp September day in 1979. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the majestic cargo ship Fossum, gracefully departing from its berth. Its towering presence dominates the scene, as it glides through the calm waters of Teesside. The photograph beautifully captures an era when shipping played a vital role in global trade. The Fossum symbolizes the interconnectedness of nations and their reliance on imports and exports for economic growth. As one can imagine, this vessel was once laden with goods from distant shores or destined to embark on a long journey carrying local products to foreign markets. Surrounding the ship are various elements that contribute to its departure: tugboats diligently guiding it out into open waters, dock workers scurrying about their tasks, and other ships patiently waiting their turn at these busy docks. This snapshot encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an entire industry built upon efficient transport and logistics. This evocative print by Staff from Memory Lane Prints transports us back to an era where maritime commerce thrived along Cleveland's coastlines. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and how these docks were once vibrant hubs connecting communities across continents through trade routes that spanned vast oceans.
