EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Stephen Shakeshaft, we are transported back to the bustling city of Liverpool in the 1970s. The image captures a serene moment on the Mersey River as a ferry gracefully glides towards Wallasey, while tugs make their way in from the Mersey Bar. The silhouette of these powerful vessels against the shimmering water creates a mesmerizing contrast. The photograph exudes an air of tranquility as it showcases the industrial side of Liverpool's rich history. It serves as a poignant reminder of how shipping played a vital role in shaping this vibrant city. The ropes hanging from the tugboats symbolize strength and resilience, highlighting their crucial function in guiding ships safely through treacherous waters. Stephen Shakeshaft's keen eye for detail is evident in his ability to capture such a picturesque scene without any human presence. This absence allows us to focus solely on the beauty and grandeur of nature intertwined with man-made structures. As we gaze upon this stunning print, we can almost hear the gentle lapping of waves against these majestic vessels and feel ourselves being transported back to that crisp November day in 1972. It is images like these that remind us of our connection to our past and evoke feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when industry thrived along riverside cities like Liverpool.
