More about this scene
When sail gave way to steam, a bigger dock was needed. All kinds of shipments left for destinations all over the world, with cargoes from copper ore and coal to potatoes and onions. The dock was named after King Edward VII; he and Queen Alexandra visited Swansea on 20 July 1904 to cut the first sod. Fully open in 1909, it was soon handling almost six million tonnes of goods per year.
