Framed Print of The Royal Visit to Swansea: Swansea Harbour and Docks, 1881. Creators: Unknown, Sulman
The Royal Visit to Swansea: Swansea Harbour and Docks, 1881....the newly constructed East Dock [will accommodate] a larger class of steam-ships in that rising commercial port...The work has been designed and executed under the direction of Mr. James Abernethy, C.E. The entire cost will be at least £300, 000... A large dry dock, opening from the main dock, will be proceeded with at once. The most finished appliances for working the docks and ministering to the particular shipments of the port are provided. When the new dock is completed Swansea will have a lock 100 ft. longer than any other in the Bristol Channel...The profit realised from Swansea Harbour is so great as to make larger towns regret that they have not docks organised on a similar principle. The light on the Mumbles Head is maintained by the Swansea Harbour Trust without charge to shipping, and the entire business of the harbour would seem to be very prosperous. A dock for long and deep ships was required, and the Harbour Trust, by its surplus and borrowing powers, has created this at once. In the working of Swansea harbour, vessels of lighter tonnage will now have two docks to themselves, with an outer tidal basin, leaving the East Dock to the largest ships'.
