EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the rich maritime history of Hartlepool, England, comes to life as two iconic vessels, HMS Trincomalee and PSS Wingfield Castle, gracefully dock side by side. The image, captured on the 9th of May, 1993, by Aerofilms Collection, presents a breathtaking aerial view of the Hartlepool Marina. HMS Trincomalee, the proud figure on the left, was laid down in Bombay, India, in 1812, making it one of the oldest surviving warships in the world. This historic vessel, a 106-gun frigate, served in the British Royal Navy for over 100 years, participating in numerous battles and voyages around the world. After being restored to her former glory, she now proudly forms part of Hartlepool's Maritime Experience, offering visitors a glimpse into the past. On the right, the more modern PSS Wingfield Castle, a paddle steamer built at Hartlepool and launched in 1934, adds an interesting contrast to the scene. This elegant vessel, with its distinctive red funnel and white hull, was once a popular passenger and cargo ship that sailed the waters of the North Sea and the English Channel. Now, she too has found a permanent home in Hartlepool, where she serves as a cherished reminder of the town's maritime heritage. Together, these famous vessels, HMS Trincomalee and PSS Wingfield Castle, stand as testament to Hartlepool's rich maritime history, inviting visitors to explore the past and appreciate the beauty and significance of these historic watercraft.
