Antic And Mary
20th March 1957: The Admiralty tug Antic, left, leaves the SS Queen Mary in dock at Southampton, after it had been decided that the wind was too high for the ship to leave. Mooring gang shop stewards also boycotted the ship, which the Confederation of Shipbuilding and Engineering Unions declared black, claiming that the vessel was in the hands of repairers when the shipbuilding strike began.

Antic And Mary - A Historical Standstill at Southampton Dock
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured by Ron Case on the 20th of March, 1957, transports us back to a significant moment in maritime history. The image showcases the Admiralty tug Antic departing from the SS Queen Mary, which remains docked due to adverse weather conditions. The photograph not only captures the powerful presence of these iconic vessels but also sheds light on a series of events that unfolded during this time. As it was deemed unsafe for the ship to set sail amidst high winds, mooring gang shop stewards joined forces with the Confederation of Shipbuilding and Engineering Unions in boycotting the vessel. This collective action resulted in declaring the ship "black" as they claimed it had been under repair when a shipbuilding strike commenced. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness an intriguing blend of industrial disputes and nature's unpredictable force intertwining within Southampton's bustling port. The contrast between Antic's departure and Queen Mary's stationary state symbolizes both resilience and constraint. Ron Case masterfully encapsulates this historic moment through his lens, presenting us with a visual narrative that speaks volumes about labor rights struggles within England's shipping industry during this era. This remarkable archival piece serves as a testament to human determination against external challenges while offering viewers an opportunity to reflect upon our shared pasts and their impact on present-day society.
