EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the bustling Manchester Ship Canals in January 1953. The image captures a remarkable moment as the mighty Esso tanker Appalachee is gently guided into the oil docks at Stanlow on the River Mersey by a fleet of powerful tugs. The sheer strength and determination displayed by these tugs is awe-inspiring. Against the backdrop of an overcast sky, their combined efforts showcase their unwavering commitment to ensuring safe passage for this colossal vessel. As they coax the Appalachee through the waterways, one can almost hear their engines roaring with exertion. This photograph not only highlights the importance of shipping and transport during this era but also pays tribute to those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to keep our world moving forward.
