Seefalke at Bridgwater Docks 1960s

Seefalke at Bridgwater Docks 1960s
A one-off from the days when I had a camera with a larger format than 35mm. One for which film went out of production in the 1970s. I think it only took about 12 shots per roll.

Annemarie, SV1XV, Roger (Grisly), LutzP and 2 other people have particularly liked this photo

This is an historic photo - for me at least - as it is the earliest photo that I took - or it is the earliest one that I can find.
So this is one I definitely haven't taken for HFF purposes!
HFF all!

Those were the times when boat did look like boats- lovely! The fence would't prevent anyone from falling in;-) HFF

The fence does look a bit weary, but when properly maintained it should have done the job. Very similar posts and chains were often used around the decks on ships.
HFF Gudrun.

Great historic photo! "Seefalke" seems a German boat!?

These old roll film images are historic indeed and, somehow, have a different feeling. HFF.

So I am historic now! I am very pleased to have a huge archive of photos taken by my father and other relatives, dating back into the 19th century. The bulk are family photos and railway ones.

A superb and historic photograph Phil
Interesting and fascinating, The warehouse is still in use but as a popular waterside pub , all the levels above the ground floor are flats.

The docks finally closed to shipping in 1971.
