This print takes us back to the bustling Southampton container berth in December 1969. Standing tall and proud, the magnificent Container ship Atlantic Causeway dominates the frame, ready to embark on her maiden voyage. This historic moment marks the inauguration of a groundbreaking weekly roll-on/roll-off container ship service between the United Kingdom and North America.
