EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time at Cammell Laird shipyard in Birkenhead, Merseyside. The imposing presence of the Dome Petroleum oil rig, aptly named "Sovereign Explorer" dominates the frame as it stands tall against the night sky. It is just days away from its much-anticipated launch on December 3rd, 1983. The industrial landscape surrounding the rig adds an intriguing contrast to this scene. Rows of houses and street lamps create a sense of normalcy amidst this extraordinary setting. A couple can be seen standing nearby, gazing up at the massive structure with awe and wonderment. The moon shines brightly overhead, casting an ethereal glow on everything below. The lights emanating from both the rig and the surrounding area illuminate this nocturnal scene, creating a mesmerizing visual spectacle. Photographer John Davidson has expertly captured not only the physicality of this impressive oil rig but also its significance within its surroundings. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and industry during that era. As we look upon this photograph today, we are transported back to a time when such monumental structures were built by hand with determination and skill. It reminds us of our capacity for innovation and exploration in pursuit of progress.
