Image description

This large and elaborate picture shows the opening of Sunderland South Docks on June 20th 1850 by George Hudson MP. Almost in the centre of the harbour is Sunderland's ceremonial barge, with a cabin decorated in gold and red. Behind it is a fine array of ships, including a large steam passenger boat on the right.

Mark Thompson was a Wearside artist;
