EDITORS COMMENTS
The Gur Mariner at Tees Dock. 11th April 1990 captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the imposing presence of an extraordinary weapon - the infamous supergun. This photograph, taken by Teesside Archive DJ and printed by Memory Lane Prints, transports us back to a time when arms and customs were under scrutiny. In this snapshot from the early 1990s, we witness the immense scale of The Gur Mariner ship docked at Teesport Docks in Middlesbrough. Its colossal size is matched only by its controversial cargo - pipes that would eventually be assembled into a supergun designed for Iraq. The image serves as a reminder of the geopolitical tensions surrounding Iraq during that era. The supergun project had raised concerns among nations worldwide due to its potential use as a long-range weapon capable of launching projectiles over vast distances. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are reminded not only of the technological marvel represented by these massive pipes but also of their ominous purpose. It prompts reflection on how weapons can shape global politics and influence international relations. Teesside Archive DJ's skillful capture allows us to appreciate both the aesthetic beauty and historical significance contained within this single frame. Through Memory Lane Prints' meticulous reproduction process, viewers can now own a piece of history that sparks curiosity about past events while serving as an enduring symbol of human ingenuity.
