Description |
Manchester Ship Canal - its locks, docks, bridges, warehouses and cranes, etc. Ships of various sizes sail or are towed up and down the canal and are loaded and unloaded by cranes and grabs of cargoes of timber, cotton, china clay, oil and salt. Swing bridges and locks are seen in operation and also a remote controlled crane. A hand with a pointer appears periodically indicating various points on a map of the Ship Canal; another map showing industry and population in the north west is featured at the beginning and end. |
