EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in marine engineering history. The image showcases the impressive platform substructure JLP01_11_38577_06, also known as Ravenspurn North, during its float out from Graythorp in Hartlepool. As the concrete gravity substructure emerges from dry dock, it is accompanied by powerful tugs that guide it into the Seaton Channel. The Ravenspurn North substructure played a crucial role in supplying gas to the region during the 1980s. After leaving Graythorp, this colossal structure embarked on an extraordinary journey towards its final destination at the northern end of the Ravenspurn Gas Field in the vast expanse of the North Sea, situated east of River Humber. This photograph not only highlights remarkable engineering prowess but also emphasizes coastal industry and its impact on local communities. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination to harness natural resources for societal progress. Preserved within Historic England Archive's collection, this image offers us a glimpse into our industrial past and reminds us of how far we have come since then. Let it serve as a reminder of our ability to shape our environment while respecting its delicate balance – an enduring legacy for future generations.
