Breathtaking Aerial View of Historic Queens Dock, Swansea, Wales (1920) This aerial photograph showcases the Queens Dock in Swansea, Wales, as it looked in the early 1920s. The dock, which opened in 1920, was primarily built to accommodate the oil handling and import facilities at the nearby BP oil refinery in Llandarcy. During its heyday in the 1950s, the Queens Dock reached the pinnacle of its usage, with oil imports and exports surpassing the impressive milestone of 8 million tonnes each year. The dock played a significant role in Swansea's industrial history, contributing to the city's reputation as a major hub for petroleum trade and shipping. The image reveals an intricate network of tankers and vessels moored at the dock, their silhouettes creating a striking contrast against the backdrop of the Welsh coastline. The dock's impressive infrastructure, with its cranes, piers, and storage tanks, is a testament to the engineering prowess of the era. As you gaze upon this historical photograph, imagine the hustle and bustle of activity that once filled the Queens Dock, with tankers arriving from far-off lands to unload their precious cargo. This aerial view offers a unique perspective on a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the rich industrial heritage of Swansea and Wales.
