EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from April 6th, 1955, takes us back to a time when the river was bustling with activity. In the foreground stands the majestic Esso Westminster, its imposing presence dominating the scene. However, it is not this mighty vessel that steals our attention but rather the skilled foyboatmen who are about to embark on their final task. As they near their destination, these seasoned boatmen expertly cast off and prepare to take a heavy mooring rope ashore. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as Charlie Ash and his mate Jack Pottinger of South Shields stand ready for action. With unwavering focus etched on their faces, they await the heaving line thrown from shore. Their years of experience shine through as they flawlessly link ship with shore using remarkable skill and precision. It is a moment that encapsulates both teamwork and dedication in equal measure. These unsung heroes of water transportation work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure smooth operations in an industry driven by efficiency. The print captures not only a snapshot of maritime history but also pays homage to those individuals whose hard work often goes unnoticed amidst grandiose vessels like Esso Westminster. It serves as a reminder that every journey involves countless hands working together seamlessly – be it on land or at sea – ensuring goods reach their intended destinations safely and efficiently.
