Crossing Dundee Ferries Ferry Firth Forth Funnel Iron Scots
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the Dundee ferry sails majestically across the Firth of Forth in Scotland, with the iconic Forth Bridge looming large on the right. The year is circa 1930, and the scene is one of industry and transportation, as the ferry cuts through the water, leaving a trail of smoke and steam in its wake. The Firth of Forth is a body of water that separates the east coast of Scotland from the Lothian region. For centuries, it has been an important transportation route, with ferries playing a crucial role in connecting communities on either side. In this image, the Dundee ferry, with its distinctive funnel and paddle wheels, is a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The Forth Bridge, which was completed in 1890, is an engineering marvel in its own right. A cantilever bridge, it spans over 2,500 meters and was the longest of its kind when it was built. It is an enduring symbol of Scottish ingenuity and industrial heritage. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, with the ferry and bridge standing as symbols of the past and the present. The smoke and steam rising from the ferry's funnel add a sense of energy and movement to the scene, while the stillness of the water and the bridge create a sense of stability and permanence. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of Scotland's waterways and transportation systems. It is a snapshot of a time when travel by ferry was a common occurrence, and the sight of a ferry crossing the Firth of Forth was a familiar one for the people of Scotland. Overall, this photograph is a beautiful and nostalgic depiction of a moment in time, and a reminder of the importance of preserving our history for future generations.
