EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to November 1969, where the H. M. S Onyx takes the lead, guiding H. M. S Olympus through the picturesque Barton Bridge area of the Manchester Ship canal. This stunning image captures a moment of naval prowess as these two submarines make their way towards Manchester Docks for an official visit to the city. The composition of this photograph is truly remarkable; it showcases not only the might and grandeur of these military vessels but also juxtaposes them against the urban backdrop of Manchester's cityscape. The towering Barton Bridge looms in the background, creating a striking contrast between man-made infrastructure and nature's waterway. As they navigate through calm waters, H. M. S Onyx leads with confidence while H. M. S Olympus follows closely behind. Their synchronized movement symbolizes unity and strength within Britain's navy during this era. This historic snapshot becomes even more significant when we learn that upon reaching Manchester Docks, two additional submarines - H. M. S Otter and H. M. S Andrew - joined their counterparts for what would undoubtedly be an unforgettable official visit to the City. Preserved by Mirrorpix's Memory Lane Prints collection, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's maritime heritage and its enduring connection with bustling cities like Manchester.
