This was a blue-sky day but as is often typical of such days on the British coast, it was very hazy.
The port at Felixtowe, I was told, was apparently privately owned and when the labour unions voted to veto containerization this port was unaffected and thus took over the leadership of container handling at the expense of Portsmouth and Southampton which were controled by the unions. Today Felixstowe is a vibrant and massive container handling port. It would appear that the labour unions in the steel/manufacturing/ports and harbours sectors of the UK caused the name Great Britain to be reduced to ... Britain.
