EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to the Millwall Docks in London during the 1930s. The image showcases two distinctive vessels nestled alongside each other, the sailing ship Abraham Rydberg and the steamship Saltersgate. The Abraham Rydberg, a windjammer built in 1879 in Sweden, was a proud addition to the maritime landscape of London. It was not a commercial vessel, but rather a training ship for the Abraham Rydberg Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing seafaring education to young Swedes. The ship's rich history can be traced back to its origins in Sweden, where it was named after its founder, Abraham Rydberg. The Abraham Rydberg's majestic sails stand tall against the backdrop of the industrial Millwall Docks, a stark contrast to the steam-powered Saltersgate, which lies alongside. The Saltersgate, a steamship, was a common sight in the Thames during the early 20th century, serving as an essential mode of transport for goods and people. The Abraham Rydberg's Australian flag proudly flies high, signifying its connection to the land Down Under. The ship had a significant presence in Australia, where it served as a training vessel for the Australian Merchant Navy. The image captures a moment in time when the traditional sailing ship and the modern steamship coexisted, offering a fascinating glimpse into the maritime history of London and the evolving world of transportation. This photograph is an exquisite reminder of a bygone era, when the wind and steam powered the world's oceans, and the Millwall Docks buzzed with activity. The Abraham Rydberg and Saltersgate stand as symbols of a time when innovation and tradition worked in harmony, shaping the maritime landscape of the Thames and the world beyond.
