EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling Swansea Docks in Wales during the summer of 1967. The scene captures a significant moment as steel is being loaded onto a ship bound for Poona, via Bombay. Three hardworking dockers, Gwilym Williams, Edwin Baglow, and Tom Kift, are seen diligently carrying out their duties at Kings Dock. The image transports us to an era when Swansea was thriving with industrial activity. The docks were the heart of this boom city, where ships from all over the world would arrive to be loaded and unloaded with various goods. This particular shipment of steel highlights the importance of Wales' contribution to global trade during that time. Ron Harding's skilled photography perfectly encapsulates the grit and determination displayed by these dockers as they handle heavy cargo amidst towering ships in the background. Their dedication symbolizes not only their personal commitment but also represents the collective efforts that powered this industry. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but appreciate the significance of Swansea Docks in shaping Wales' industrial heritage. It serves as a reminder of how shipping played a vital role in connecting nations and driving economic growth throughout history.
