EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of great excitement and anticipation as the Prince and Princess of Wales, Albert Edward and Alexandra of Denmark, gracefully arrive at the opening ceremony of the Alexandra Dock in King's Lynn, Norfolk on the 21st of July, 1869. The couple is seen aboard the royal yacht, the Mary, as it enters the newly expanded and deepened dock, which was designed to accommodate larger and more modern ships, thereby enhancing the port's capacity for importing goods. The Alexandra Dock, named in honor of the Princess, was a significant expansion project for the port of King's Lynn, which had long been an essential trading hub for the region. The dock's opening marked a new era in the town's commercial history, allowing for larger and more efficient shipping, thereby boosting the local economy and enhancing King's Lynn's status as a vital port. The photograph shows the royal couple, dressed in their finest attire, waving to the large crowd that had gathered to witness the historic event. The joyous occasion is reflected in the faces of the onlookers, who are seen cheering and waving their hats in the air. The image captures the sense of pride and excitement that the opening of the Alexandra Dock brought to the people of King's Lynn and the wider community. This photograph is a testament to the rich maritime history of King's Lynn and the important role it played in the economic and social development of Norfolk.
