◊ 1886 : Penarth Roads. A lithograph from 'The Shipping World' with a view from the Pier Head at Bute Docks, Cardiff, looking south-eastwards to the Severn Sea and Penarth Head. A number of vessels await at anchor beyond the low water pier and within the Penarth Roads. The lower image has been colourised.
The article reads : 'The new coaling cranes, the joint production of Sir William Thomas Lewis and Mr. Charles L. Hunter, constitute an important feature in the Bute system of docks ; for they enable the management to load and unload a cargo with a rapidity previously unexperienced.' [701] [703]
