Hello Everyone!
I spent a lot of time taking photos on this creation, but after two weeks and no success, I am kind of burned out. Goodness, I am terrible at Lego Photography. I am sorry about the photo`s lighting problems and the glare in places. It`s not the perfect image I had in mind, but I hope you guys can still appreciate the effort put into this. Better scenes will follow.
-Chris
EDIT: Feedback is more than appreciated, tell me what to do about that lighting/photography!

The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as downtown revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high-speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.

The YT-1450 model was conceived mainly for hauling large cargo crates by connecting them to the hull between the two forward mandibles. This was a feature not frequently used on earlier models, such as the YT-1300, but there still existed a market demand for these types of ships. The YT-1450 standard model comes equipped with a forward pointing tractor beam projector, placed between the large mandibles. Somewhat unique for this YT model is the side mounted rotating cockpit that gives the pilot a great overview of the ship and the cargo during flight.
"The Nadir" is, as many other YT class ships, greatly modified. In particular for getting large cargo shipments out of tough situations. An oversized shield generator has been fitted to one of the mandibles. This gives The Nadir the possibility to shield both the ship and the cargo. To be able to blast through blockades, a double turbo laser battery has replaced one of the docking ports. Almost all of the long-range sensors and communication equipment have been upgraded and switched out during the years.

Eindelijk was het zo ver!
Na een overbrenging naar Roosendaal op 7 september 2017
Werden op 8 september 2017 de RTX 6400’n overgebracht van Roosendaal naar Antwerpen-Noord,voor de eerste keer op Belgisch grondgebied.
Na opleiding aan de treinbestuurders kunnen ze ingezet worden.
Ze mogen in België,Nederland en Duitsland rijden.
Ik ben benieuwd waar ze ingezet gaan worden?
“Hiermee verklaar ik de jacht voor geopend”!!
On 8 september 2017 Railtraxxen 6482-6484-6475 were transferred from Roosendaal to Antwerp-North, for the first time on Belgian territory.
After training at the train drivers, they can be used.
In Belgium, Netherlands and Germany they are allowed to drive.
I wonder where they are going to be used?
The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as downtown revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high-speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.

Two stills from my video art, 'The Safe Shipment of Small Cargo' vimeo.com/tizzycanucci/safeshipment
It combines Second Life art with archive film - collage or montage!
The exhibition of art in containers is by ꓟarina ꓟunter and will be at The ꓖ.B.T.H. Project until September 2020.
Outgoing Cargo! is an archive film made in the 1950s for the National Association of Manufacturers in the United States. It promoted American capitalism, and introduced the viewer to ‘a steel container called a cargo van’, as a new innovation for shipping.
The village of Porthgain has a wealth of historical relics from its time as a prosperous industrial harbour in the early 1900s.
At one time, the harbour exported slate from quarries a few miles south at Abereiddi, Trwynllwyd and Porthgain itself. Abereiddi and the quarries to the South were linked by a tramway. Water-powered mills at Porthgain sawed the quarried slate slabs before shipment.
In later years the slate trade was abandoned, although Porthgain survived by turning to brickmaking, and later to crushed roadstone. Large brick hoppers dominate the harbour. These hoppers were used to store crushed dolerite before shipment and are now a Scheduled Ancient Monument. In 1987 Porthgain was designated as a conservation area. Slate, from a local quarry, was handled through the harbour from 1850 to 1910. Bricks were made in the harbour area from 1889 to 1912 using waste from the slate operation. The crushed dolerite (1889–1931) was used as a road stone.
The harbour, still home to local fishermen, can get very busy in the summer with recreational boaters. Other attractions and conveniences include the Pembrokeshire Coast Path rambling up both sides of the harbour, the “Strumble Shuttle” bus, and the Sloop, which used to be called the “Step In” when boats were able to dock beside the pub and the crews could step in. Porthgain also has the Shed, a small bistro situated by the Quay and the Harbour Lights Gallery, which is located in the manager’s office of the old works.
The Unistar backed shipments to Savareen had been increasing over the last few months. It became clear to SCS Command that they were preparing for a hostile takeover of the planet. In order to protect the Imperial assets on the ground, dozens of anti-aircraft guns were set up along the 20 mile beach head. Their orders were to blast any ship with yellow markings out of the sky. It wasn’t long before the enemy cargo ships started arriving with starfighter escorts.
“2 targets on the horizon” yelled the spotter with his macrobinoculars held up to his eyes.
The stormtrooper manning the gun stood up and recalibrated the gunsight settings. “Distance: 5000 feet. Height: 650 feet” he called out.
The spotter relayed the changing distance in response. “4900 feet…4800 feet…4700 -“
“Target acquired” confirmed the gunner.
The twin barrelled gun fired short controlled bursts, pausing intermittently to recalibrate its aim.
“Hit” yelled the spotter over the noise as the crew watched the cargo ship nose dive into the ocean. There were some jeers and pats on the back for the gunner before the spotter interrupted them with an update.
“The escorts not turning around” he warned. “2900 feet”
The gunner snapped his attention back to his weapon and readjusted the targeting system. He fired and watched the blue laser blasts sail over the fighter bearing down on them.
“He’s dropping low” shouted the spotter.
“These guns weren’t made for hitting fighters” thought the gunner, missing again.
“1500 feet and closing!”
“I need a reload!” yelled the gunner.
The fighter was nearly close enough to see the pilot inside the cockpit now. His weapon systems were in range and in seconds he had lit up the beach forcing the anti-air crew to hit the deck. The gunner kept firing.
“HIT!” he yelled as the smoking fighter crashed into the tree line behind them.
Dusting themselves off, they waited for the explosion. None came.
“No fire” said the spotter grinning. They called it in and the remains of the fighter were recovered. The pilot was in pieces but the fighter was still partially intact.
“IDMR are gonna have a field day with this” said the gunner. “They’ve been looking for a Unistar fighter since that pilot defected.”
A fleet of Nikon SLR cameras are being prepped for shipment to children of NATO members in the Netherlands/Germany/Belgium Tri-border area ranging from 6th grade to 12th grade. All of these children attend AF North International school and have been introduced to so many new things like the music program, screen printing, skateboarding, 3-D printing but one thing they have not done is picked up a film camera.
Steve Smalley heads up the program and wants to see these kids learn and develop a new skill like film photography!
The FPP School Donation Program donated hundreds of cameras in 2015! Help the program by visiting our donation page. We're all helping keep the art of film photography alive - one student at a time!
A brand new shipment of "Matangi" suburban electric units sit in the Wellington Freight Yards, still in their protective wrapping after just arriving from South Korea.
"The first batch of 44 "Matangi" units entered full-time service in March 2011. Their arrival allowed the retirement of the remaining "English Electric" multiple units that had been introduced between 1949 and 1954!
These new Units also relegated the Hungarian-built "Ganz-Mavag" Units (introduced in 1982-83) to peak services only. When these new Matangi Units enter service in the weeks ahead, the Hungarian-built trains will be retired once and for all...
The name "Matangi" is Māori for "Wind". The name was chosen for Wellington's windy reputation, and because the new trains are "as fast as the wind" and a "breath of fresh air” for a transport system that was beginning to creek a little with age! The name was also chosen because it is easy to pronounce and spell, is distinctively Kiwi, and has support from local Iwi (i.e. Māori) tribes."

Thalmor Dossier: Throgar Winter-Flame
Status: Asset (non-attributed), Dormant. Watch-only. Emissary Level Approval.
Background: Born in Bruma, 4E 176, son of Halbjorn Winter-Flame (see related documents for further information) and Fjilsi Stone-Shield (terminated 4E 178). After agents separated Throgar from his father in the 4E 179 kill missions (failed), Haafingar-based Justiciars were unable to prevent the boy from falling into Imperial interest. Throgar was taken in by the Dragon’s Bridge based blacksmith Pavus Arellius. This information arrived late, and was further ignored by the mission officer. Situation was deemed irreparable: responsible parties for this oversight were summarily removed and replaced. Initial reports suggested that Throgar might serve as a bargaining tool to draw out the high value target Halbjorn Winter-Flame. Probing missions proved ineffective, resulting in the deaths of three local agents. Throgar was moved to an inactive surveillance state from there.
Our Justiciar in charge of the operation notes that Throgar displays very low personal threat: while growing up, the boy learned to despise the Legions, as he attributed his parents’ deaths to it. Rather than work making Legion steel with his adoptive father, Throgar is noted as a rapacious youth who prefers to spend time sleeping in beds owned by the daughters of noblemen and harassing area guardsmen. Upon Throgar’s fifteenth year, weekly reports were transitioned to basic annual synopses, as per discretion of Justiciar Alerin, following her conclusion that the younger Winter-Flame was of no threat to machinations in Skyrim.
The motion gained Third Emissary approval after Throgar began regular caravan activity as a guard for Arellius’ shipments of non-armory goods to Hjaalmarch and Reach holds. Justiciar Alerin notes that Throgar demonstrates the innate martial capability of his father, but prefers to exercise this particular skill-set in tavern brawls as opposed to any useful (or hindering) manner. As he has proven of no threat to area assets, Command has simply added an “engage-with-caution” clause to any pending operations involving him. Justiciar Alerin’s latest annual report places Throgar in Hjaalmarch, working as a sell-sword out of Morthal.
Operational Notes: Given his father’s excessively violent nature, Throgar has been designated as a zero-contact surveillance project save for dire circumstances. Given his possible value in the apprehension of his father, area assets have been advised to ensure that Throgar remains alive throughout his mercenary work: general well-being, however, is a non-priority. Justiciar Alerin suggests that any situtationally-mandated contact be made indoors, taverns being the safest locations. Stealth infiltration/exfiltration protocols required at all times when gathering intelligence on target.
"Today SMURF received thier shipment of 20,000 weapons in loading bay 3. No further information has been released on what they are going to be used for."

This album celebrates the achievements of the Hawthorn Leslie locomotive works at Forth Banks, Newcastle upon Tyne. The works were established by Robert Hawthorn in January 1817 and in 1820 his brother, William Hawthorn joined him as a partner. The firm initially manufactured stationary engines but within a few years diversified into marine engineering and in 1831 produced its first locomotive engine for the Stockton and Darlington Railway.
In 1870 the firm established a separate marine engine works on the River Tyne at St. Peter’s and from 1882 the Forth Banks Works became devoted entirely to the manufacture of locomotives. In 1885 the firm amalgamated with the shipyard of Andrew Leslie at Hebburn, creating the world-famous shipbuilding and engineering company R and W. Hawthorn, Leslie & Co. Ltd.
The Forth Banks Works of Hawthorn Leslie produced engines of all types and sizes for railways around the world. The output of the Forth Banks Works included a large number of tank engines for industrial works and collieries and the firm established a speciality in the construction of crane locomotives.
The images in this set date from the early twentieth century and are a reminder of Newcastle upon Tyne’s proud industrial heritage. They are taken from a series of photograph albums produced by Hawthorn Leslie. The albums were kindly donated to Tyne & Wear Archives by Alan C. Baker and T.D. Allen Civil.

攝於台灣桃園國際機場一航廈
Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (IATA: TPE, ICAO: RCTP) is an international airport serving the capital city of Taiwan, Taipei, and the northern parts of the country. Located about 40 km from Taipei in Dayuan Township, Taoyuan County, Taiwan, the airport is Taiwan's largest airport. It is one of five Taiwanese airports with regular international flights, and is by far the busiest international air entry point amongst them.[4] It is the main international hub for China Airlines and EVA Air.
The airport opened for commercial operations in 1979 and is an important regional trans-shipment center, passenger hub, and gateway for destinations in China and the rest of Asia. The airport was formerly known as Chiang Kai-shek International Airport (CKS International Airport) until the name was changed in 2006 to its current name.[5]
Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport is one of two airports that serves Taipei and northern Taiwan; the other, Taipei Songshan Airport, is located within Taipei City limits and served Taipei as its international airport until 1979.[6] Songshan now mainly serves chartered flights, most of which are to and from mainland China (see cross-strait charter), domestic flights, and some international flights.
臺灣桃園國際機場（IATA代碼：TPE，ICAO代碼：RCTP；簡稱桃園機場、桃園國際機場）位於臺灣西北部的桃園縣大園鄉，為臺北的聯外國際機場、以及臺灣主要的國際客運出入吞吐地，也是臺灣本島最北端[4]與規模最大的民航機場。1979年2月26日啟用時的名稱為中正國際機場，2006年10月改為現名。管理及營運單位為桃園國際機場股份有限公司。其與臺北市區有高速公路相連，聯外捷運系統亦在興建中。
與臺北另一座聯外機場松山機場不同，桃園機場僅經營國際航線。由於世界各國與臺北之間的航線大部分在此起降，各國航空公司的航線及航點圖上經常將之標示為「臺北機場」。若以跨境的客運量計算，其客運量排名全球第15名。

The Russian government has been completely sealed off from the outside world. New Regime officials have not made any comment on the situation, any ex-government offic.. excuse me.. I’m getting new information as we speak. Ok. We are receiving headcam footage of a raid right now. If you have any children nearby please do not allow them to watch this. Viewer discretion is advised. Stand by… U.S. led, NATO forces are in what appears to be a shipyard, some sort of operation is underway, we are still receiving information on the raid. This is a live feed from Poreč, Croatia. NATO troops are attempting to secure a landing ground for an armored division. Again, this is a live feed of a U.S. led, NATO raid on a shipyard in the port city of Poreč, Croatia. We advise that children are not allowed to watch this footage. Viewer discretion is advised.
[Soldiers are seen stacking up against the side of a house preparing to turn the corner. *multiple gunshots come through the feed before the audio is killed* Two Russian soldiers come into view, both bodies are sprawled out on the ground. A squad of NATO troops secures the building and prepares to move on. Seconds later the feed cuts out.]
We just witnessed a live raid on a Russian controlled port city. NATO troops will be able to sweep across the region once they control the port, it’s their ticket into the eastern part of Europe.
The second build in my little story. Please enjoy the build and the shotty story! I'd love to hear any feedback you have down in the comments. Thanks for stopping by!

The second part of the Ship Trilogy. This is the A2-Build for the Merchants Guild at LCC.
A couple of days later Fangulf and Paul are reaching southern Garheim. The signal fire of the small town Thorinstor could be seen from far away. Arriving at the harbor, they start to unload the ship quickly. The Garhim are preparing for war, so they really need the shipped goods. But also Paul von Brickensteins time is valuable, he needs to get to northern Garheim fast, some weapons are waiting to get picked up. Will he be fast enough to come back home, defending Lenfald with his fellows ?
Shardlow is a village in Derbyshire, about 6 miles southeast of Derby. An important late 18th-century river port for the trans-shipment of goods to and from the River Trent to the Trent and Mersey Canal, during its heyday from the 1770s to the 1840s, it became referred to as "Rural Rotterdam" and "Little Liverpool". Today Shardlow is considered Britain's most complete surviving example of a canal village, with over 50 Grade II listed buildings and many surviving public houses within the designated Shardlow Wharf Conservation Area.
The River Trent below Shardlow is navigable all the way to the Humber Estuary. As a result, Shardlow was always an important transport hub and trading point, as wide-beam ships and boats traded cargo commercially with the packhorse trails going across the region. The original London to Manchester road (formerly an important turnpike road, authorised in 1738, and now the A6), passes through the village, having crossed the Trent at Cavendish Bridge, designed by the Duke of Devonshire's architect, James Paine.
James Brindley built the Trent and Mersey Canal from 1766 to 1777. With a vision to connect the Mersey, Trent, Severn and Thames, he created the country's only other comparative canal port in the town of Stourport-on-Severn. Brindley developed his canal through Shardlow in 1770, to join the River Trent at Great Wilne 1⁄2 mile further downstream at the junction with the River Derwent, which was also up to that point navigable. As a result, Shardlow quickly developed as an important UK river port, a transhipment point between the broad river barges and ships, and the canal's narrow boats. Shardlow later became the head office site of the Trent and Mersey Canal.
