◊ 1886 : Entrance to Penarth Dock. An enlargement of the lithograph from 'The Shipping World' showing (left to right) the Mercantile Marine Offices, The Custom House, the hill leading up to Dock Road, The coal tips situated within the basin and distant the coal tips within the main dock. A paddle steamer awaits (probably the Penarth Ferry) at the southern jetty. Wonderful! The lower image has been colourised. [701] [703]

◊ 1886 : Entrance to Penarth Dock. The entire lithographic print from the article which in addition shows a barque in tow of a steam tug leaving the basin at high tide. The lock gates appear to be open thus permitting vessels to sail directly out of the dock saving time on locking up or down to satisfy differing water levels. A design feature dating back to the early 1860's and Mr. John Hawkshaw's truly inventive concept for the efficiency of Penarth Dock over the rival Bute Docks! The lower image has been colourised.
