EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling Newport Docks in the 1940s. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the impressive 100-ton floating crane, Simson III, standing tall against the backdrop of a cloudy sky. Its sheer size and strength are evident as it effortlessly lifts an ingot buggy from SS Stonegate, showcasing its vital role in handling heavy cargo. To the left of this mighty crane, we catch a glimpse of the steam tug "Trusty" patiently waiting for its next assignment. With its sturdy build and billowing smokestack, it exudes reliability and power. On the right side of our frame stands another steam tug named "Gwent" ready to assist with any maritime tasks that may arise. The scene at Newport Docks is one filled with energy and purpose. It's a snapshot frozen in time that captures not only these magnificent vessels but also highlights the industrious spirit that defined this era. As we gaze upon this historical moment preserved by STEAM Museum of GWR, we can't help but be transported back to a time when docks like Newport were buzzing hubs of activity - where ships arrived laden with goods from distant lands while tugs like Trusty and Gwent worked tirelessly to ensure smooth operations. This print serves as a reminder of how crucial these maritime elements were in shaping Newport's history while offering us an opportunity to appreciate their significance even today.
