Taken on 28th February 1932, it captures the bustling Thames docks filled with unprecedented activity. The scene depicts ships being unloaded and goods hurriedly transferred onto barges, all in an effort to evade the newly imposed tariffs. Amongst the chaos, our attention is drawn to the grand American liner named President Harding, which had just docked for the first time at King George V Docks. This monumental event symbolizes both international trade relations and economic tensions between nations during this tumultuous period between the wars.
