Volume Four - An Era of Change, Uncertainty, Depression & War - Activity at the dock during World War II . . .

1943-4 - A view up the Penarth Dock showing the LST's and the cargo moorings.

1943-1944 - A rather grainy view up the Penarth Dock showing the LST's distant and the cargo moorings on the north quay. A vessel is moored at a coal tip probably having been loaded with bunker fuel for her voyage. A tug is featured crossing the dock which most probably is the dock based vessel 'Primrose'.
