No more ships calling there since August last year. That port had been in operation since the thirties.

Interesting view from a long time ago. Not many photos from Churchill, Manitoba, on this site, a port on Hudson's Bay which is open just a few months a year during the summer.

So many thoughts stirred up by this photo... it so nice with these kids.

A great picture. Like others say, what makes the picture is the two kids watching the ship, perhaps future sailors both of them. Very well maintained vessel, from the "Golden age" of Norwegian shipping...

Photo taken by Angus Gillingham and submitted by pbg. Could it be P B Gillingham, a son of Angus and one of the kids?

A true classic!!!!. They sure do not build ships like that anymore.

What makes the pic for me are the two kids. Is their father in the crew? Or did they just happen to be passing by, wishing they were going to other parts of the world.

Very good picture.

Thanks pbg, an absolute gem of an image & ship. Full of detail, colour & nostalgia.
