Description: | A collier (coal ship) is shown on the pontoon (submersible barge), ready for repair at The Wear Dockyard of S. P. Austin and Sons at Sunderland. The pontoon was used for ship repair between 1903 and 1964. The yard had been started by S.P. Austin in 1826, and was one of Sunderland's leading shipyards in the 19th and 20th centuries. (The firm closed in 1988, after having merged with another firm to become Austin and Pickersgill.) Herbert Simpson was a Sunderland artist. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | work artists living in the North East transport art Sunderland shipbuilding | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
