EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Heading into Commissioners Quay, North Shields, is the Centurion" takes us back to a bygone era of maritime history. The image showcases the magnificent half-scale model of the 1702 HMS Centurion as it gracefully sails into North Shields' bustling Commissioners Quay on the River Tyne. This remarkable replica ship arrived from Berwick and was warmly welcomed by locals who eagerly awaited its arrival. The Centurion holds a special significance as it serves as a missionary vessel belonging to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. Its purpose goes beyond mere transportation; this ship symbolizes an important mission to spread religious teachings throughout various ports in Northeast England during the 1950s. The photograph beautifully captures not only the grandeur of sailing ships but also offers a glimpse into life aboard these vessels. We can imagine dedicated crew members working tirelessly, navigating through rough waters and ensuring safe passage for both themselves and their precious cargo. Preserved by NCJ - Kemsley's Memory Lane Prints, this snapshot transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate our rich maritime heritage. It reminds us of an era when sailboats dominated our waterways and served purposes far beyond commercial use – connecting communities, spreading knowledge, and fostering cultural exchange along their journeys.
