Grimsby, The Docks 1893

More about this scene
Grimsby is a major port, lying at the southern entrance of the River Humber. The Fish Dock was built in 1893, when it served the biggest fishing fleet in the world; this fact might seem to be contradicted by this preponderance of merchant vessels berthed in the Royal Dock. The mixture of power-driven ships, barques and other craft indicates the trend at the turn of the century in marine transport from sail to steam.
