Description: | Ships crowd the North Dock (opened 1837) on the left of Sunderland Harbour in this panoramic view. On the right is the entrance to the large South Dock, which opened in 1850. The 18th century wooden Tide Light is still in place on the South Pier on the right. This was replaced in 1856. The North Pier is shown as it appeared after it was extended in 1841. Timber for shipbuilding can be seen laid out along Potato Garth on the left shore. The artist Edward Hastings worked in both London and Durham. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | work artists oil paintings living in the North East transport art Sunderland children men women shipbuilding | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
