Stanley Dock, showing war damage sustained in an earlier raid, 1942

Stewart Bale collection online exhibition

Archive reference 42242-7

Barges moored 4 deep at the dockside. The top corner of the building in the background is missing.

This photograph of barges on the north side of Stanley Dock shows war damage to the warehouses, at the top right of the image.

The plate carries a cropping instruction to ‘SHADE OUT’ the top of the image so that the barges below would be more prominent. Here the whole plate is shown in order to retain all the information in the photograph.
