EDITORS COMMENTS
Steeped in history, this print takes us back to the 1950s when the BD6, a remarkable steam-operated dredger built way back in 1843, was still hard at work. Standing as a testament to its enduring strength and functionality, this drag boat continued its vital role until 1961. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the BD6 gracefully navigating Bristol's bustling harbor. Its imposing presence is accentuated by the cables attached to bollards on the quay side that allowed it to pull itself across the water with ease. The sight of this majestic vessel evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone but not forgotten. Transporting us back to post-war England, this image captures an important chapter in maritime history. The docks of Bristol were once teeming with activity as boats like the BD6 played a crucial role in shaping trade and commerce. This photograph serves as a reminder of their significant contribution and impact on South West England. As we gaze upon this memory from yesteryears, our minds are filled with admiration for those who operated these magnificent vessels and maintained their impeccable condition year after year. It is through prints like these that we can appreciate how far transportation has come while cherishing moments that shaped our past.
