EDITORS COMMENTS
View from the hold of the Manchester Renown, Manchester, 1964. This photo captures a moment in time when British steel products were highly sought after worldwide. The dockers are seen diligently loading steel bars onto the ship from a bustling dock on the iconic Manchester Ship Canal. The Manchester Renown, part of the esteemed Manchester Liners fleet, played a crucial role in transporting Britain's finest goods across oceans. Newly built at the time this photograph was taken, in 1964, it served faithfully until 1971 when it embarked on a new journey as the Korean Challenger under South Korean ownership. In this image by Michael Walters of Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , we witness an industrious scene inside the ship's hold. Men working tirelessly amidst towering cranes and stacks of metal reflect their dedication to their profession and country. This snapshot encapsulates not only an era but also highlights Greater Manchester's significant contribution to global trade and transportation during that period. It serves as a reminder of Britain's prowess in producing high-quality steel products that commanded international demand. As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported back to a time when hard work and craftsmanship fueled economic growth while simultaneously showcasing England's rich industrial heritage.
