EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the iconic Flying Scotsman living up to its name as it defies gravity and takes to the air. Thanks to the incredible Mersey Docks & Harbour Board floating crane Mammoth, this majestic steam train is being carefully swung aboard Cunard Line's freighter Saxonia in Liverpool. The date is September 19,1969, and a daring adventure awaits. Alan Pegler, with audacity coursing through his veins, orchestrated an unprecedented move by taking Flying Scotsman on a transcontinental exhibition tour of British goods across America. This photograph captures a pivotal moment in that journey as the legendary locomotive prepares for its voyage across the Atlantic. The scene at Liverpool Docks is bustling with activity - an industrious display of rail and maritime prowess. As Mammoth gracefully lifts Flying Scotsman off solid ground onto Saxonia's cargo hold, one can't help but marvel at the sheer power and precision involved in such an operation. This image from Memory Lane Prints encapsulates not only a historical event but also symbolizes innovation and ambition. It represents an era when railways connected nations and sparked imaginations worldwide. A testament to human ingenuity and determination, this photograph immortalizes both the grandeur of Flying Scotsman and the spirit of exploration that propelled it towards new horizons.
