EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling Sunderland Harbour from Roker, dating back to the mid-19th century. Painted by Edward Hastings, this oil on canvas artwork measures 91.5x151.5 cm and is currently housed in the Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens in Tyne & Wear, UK. The panoramic view showcases a vibrant scene with ships filling the North Dock on the left side of the harbor. On the right, we see the entrance to the newly opened South Dock in 1850, while an 18th-century wooden Tide Light still stands proudly on the South Pier (although it was later replaced in 1856). The extension of North Pier in 1841 is also depicted. Along Potato Garth on the left shore, timber for shipbuilding can be observed neatly laid out. This painting beautifully encapsulates both industrial activity and maritime history within one frame. Edward Hastings, a talented artist who worked in London and Durham during his career, skillfully captured this aerial perspective of Sunderland Harbour from Roker. The composition highlights not only its significance as a port but also its role as a thriving city center. With its meticulous attention to detail and rich historical context, this painting serves as a testament to Sunderland's maritime heritage and offers viewers an immersive glimpse into life at sea during that era.
