Back in the 1970’s I worked for the British Steel Corporation in their Shipping Division based on London. I chartered many vessels that shipped steel rails and ingots from Workington. These were from the nearby steel works. We shipped these products around Europe and the Mediterranean. Sadly y all gone!
Nicely done. Guess the wood and pulp are for the nearby papermill for either paper production or to power the combined heat and power station at the facility???
Both videos very interesting .
Great vid Bod, thanks a million, keep them coming 👍
