Commercial Road
Description
This photograph appears to look south from the graving dock on Commercial Road. The dock is shown on the Aberdeenshire LXXV.11 Ordnance Survey 25-inch map published 1902. The image shows a North Shields based fishing boat called Tynemouth under maintenance. A crane attached to the side of the dock is being operated by a number of workers. Correspondent Ed Fowler has pointed out that the jib crane in this image has been seriously damaged, probably by an overload. Ropes are being rigged by the workers to raise the crane's boom for repair or replacement. The top of the boom has almost snapped off and there is a crack further back.
