Description: | Navy ships in camouflage grey are shown at the port of North Shields during the Second World War (1939-45). Huge barrage balloons are tethered by strong cables over the scene. (These were used to deter low-flying enemy aircraft). Tyneside was an extremely important military and industrial centre during the war. The pale towers of the High Light and Low Light lighthouses at North Shields can be seen on the left. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | North Tyneside artists oil paintings living in the North East art war military | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
