EDITORS COMMENTS
The 100,000 ton Dunstanburgh Castle gracefully maneuvers down the picturesque River Tees, captivating the attention of hundreds of onlookers. This stunning print captures a historic moment in time - March 2nd, 1970 - as six powerful tugs guide the colossal bulk ore oil carrier from its birthplace at Swan Hunter fitting out basin in Haverton Hill. The sheer magnitude of this ship is awe-inspiring, as it inches its way towards the iconic Transporter Bridge. The sightseers lining the riverbanks are spellbound by this remarkable feat of engineering and maritime prowess. It's a testament to human ingenuity that such an enormous vessel can be maneuvered with such precision through these waters.
