EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black-and-white print takes us back to the 1940s, a time when Bromborough played a vital role in supporting the war effort against Japan. Standing proudly before us is a remarkable feat of engineering—a reinforced concrete dry dock that was launched at Bromborough before embarking on its journey to the Far East. The sheer magnitude of this floating structure is awe-inspiring. Once completed, it will weigh an astonishing 2000 to 2500 tons—a testament to the determination and skill of those involved in its construction. Incredibly, this colossal dock was built in just 27 working days—an extraordinary achievement considering the challenges posed by wartime constraints. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are reminded of the immense sacrifices made during World War II and how every resource available was harnessed for victory. The docks served as crucial hubs for industry and commerce—keeping supply lines open amidst conflict. Bromborough's contribution exemplifies both innovation and resilience—the ability to adapt swiftly to meet wartime demands while upholding unwavering dedication towards protecting our nation's interests.
