EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the bustling maritime scene of South Shields in the 1940s. The image showcases the Tugboats of the France, Fenwick company of Tyne and Wear, peacefully moored off the coast. However, what truly stands out is the poignant tribute being paid to Captain John McCarrick, late skipper of the Criccieth. In adherence to a cherished company tradition, each tugboat proudly flies its flag at half-mast as a mark of respect for their fallen comrade. This solemn gesture speaks volumes about the tight-knit community that thrived within these docks - where camaraderie and remembrance were deeply ingrained. The photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions tied to loss and unity. It serves as a reminder that amidst busy shipping activities and customs duties, there was always room for heartfelt gestures honoring those who dedicated their lives to seafaring. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported into an era when tugs played an indispensable role in transporting goods across seas. More importantly though, it reminds us that behind every vessel lies a story - one filled with sacrifice and unwavering dedication. Mirrorpix has once again preserved an invaluable piece of history through this remarkable print; allowing us to pay homage not just to Captain McCarrick but also to all those who have braved treacherous waters in service of our global trade networks.
