Summary[edit]

Description
English: Manchester Docks (Salford Quays) 1979, 3 km from Trafford Park, Trafford, Great Britain.

One of Manchester Liners fleet of container vessels being loaded in the largest berth at Manchester Docks, April 1979. The area was rebranded as Salford Quays in the 1990s and features principally service industries and apartments. Vessels such as that pictured, carefully designed to fit the loading gauge of the Manchester Ship Canal, were eventually made obsolete by ever-rising ship sizes. Manchester Liners abandoned the port of Manchester for Liverpool Seaforth Dock in the 1980s.
