Ceremony Dock Docks Hull Opening
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a historic moment in the maritime history of Hull, as King George V and Queen Mary make their way to the city's docks on 26th June 1914. The royal couple, dressed in their formal attire, are seen seated comfortably in an open-top carriage, waving to the large crowd that had gathered to catch a glimpse of their majesties. The King, wearing his military uniform adorned with numerous medals, looks resolute and determined, while the Queen, with her elegant dress and pearl necklace, exudes grace and poise. The occasion of their visit was the opening ceremony of the new joint dock, a significant development that was expected to boost Hull's commercial and industrial growth. The new dock, a symbol of progress and modernization, was a testament to the city's thriving maritime industry and its importance as a major port in the United Kingdom. The photograph captures the excitement and anticipation of the crowd, who had gathered to witness this grand event. The flags and banners fluttering in the wind, the cheers and applause of the onlookers, and the gleaming ships in the background add to the sense of occasion and grandeur. This photograph is a precious reminder of a bygone era, a time when royal visits were a source of great excitement and pride for the people. It is a snapshot of history, a moment frozen in time, that offers a glimpse into the rich cultural and historical heritage of Hull and the United Kingdom.
