EDITORS COMMENTS
The launch of the Cunard container ship Atlantic Conveyor at Wallsend on Tyne in August 1969 marks a significant moment in British maritime history. This print captures the grandeur and power of this iconic vessel as it embarks on its maiden voyage. Little did anyone know that this mighty ship would later play a crucial role during the Falklands War. In May 1982, tragedy struck when two Argentine air-launched AM39 Exocet missiles found their target, hitting the Atlantic Conveyor with devastating consequences. The attack claimed the lives of twelve brave sailors who had been serving onboard. This poignant image serves as a reminder of their sacrifice and the resilience shown by those who served aboard this remarkable ship. Built by Swan Hunter Shipyard, located in Tyne and Wear, this photograph showcases not only British industry but also highlights the rich heritage of shipbuilding in this region. The Cunard Line has long been associated with luxury ocean liners, but with the Atlantic Conveyor, they ventured into container shipping – revolutionizing global trade. This print from Memory Lane Prints is a testament to both human ingenuity and courage displayed throughout history. It stands as an enduring tribute to all those involved in building, launching, and sailing aboard SS Atlantic Conveyor.
