EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the grandeur and significance of the Opening of the new Lock and Water Channel at Sunderland Docks by the Earl of Durham. The scene is filled with excitement as a procession of ships gracefully enters the newly constructed lock, symbolizing progress and prosperity for Sunderland. The Earl of Durham, a prominent figure in this momentous occasion, can be seen standing proudly on one of the vessels, overseeing the ceremonial event. His presence adds an air of importance to this historic milestone in maritime infrastructure development. The view from afar showcases the impressive scale and design of both the lock and water channel. The intricate details etched into this print allow us to appreciate not only its functional purpose but also its architectural beauty. Amongst all these festivities, one ship stands out - Lady Beatrix steamship. This elegant vessel takes center stage as it leads others through this symbolic gateway towards new opportunities and economic growth for Sunderland. This engraving was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on October 30th, 1880.
