EDITORS COMMENTS
The monumental engineering feat of the Furness Shipbuilding Company comes to life in this photo print. Taken at the Haverton Hill yard in 1946, it showcases the awe-inspiring sight of a colossal floating dock built for a Swedish firm. As smoke billows from nearby chimneys and tugs gracefully maneuver around its edges, this image encapsulates the bustling industrial landscape of Middlesbrough during the 1940s. The iconic bridge spanning over the river serves as a testament to human ingenuity, symbolizing both connection and progress. Its presence adds an element of grandeur to an already impressive scene, reminding us that even amidst towering structures and heavy machinery, beauty can be found. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an era defined by ambition and innovation. The immense scale of this floating dock hints at the magnitude of projects undertaken by companies like Furness Shipbuilding during this period. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to a time when industry thrived along these docks. It serves as a reminder of our rich maritime heritage and pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to shaping our world through their tireless work.
