An enlargement in which the 'Bangarth' of Liverpool may be seen at tip number 1 loading coal. Three hands seem to be on deck supervising the operation; an interesting snapshot of the dock at work during the first decade of the 20th century. 'Bangarth' was launched in 1906 at Middlesborough and was of 1,872 gross register tons. She was built for the Rea Shipping Company Limited who eventually opened offices at London, Liverpool, Southampton, Bristol and Cardiff. In December 1917 she was torpedoed and sunk by a U-boat in the North Sea off the Tyne, en route for Dunkerque with a cargo of coal. [000] |
