The Dover-Calais ferry approaches the pier. Calais 1950

As the Dover-Calais ferry approaches the pier in Calais, 1950, a line of dockworkers on the quay and passengers at the ship’s windows are united in a moment of intense observation. From a high angle, their synchronized focus is directed into the dark, narrow gap between the vessel and the dock. Both groups are captivated by an unseen subject below, creating a palpable sense of mystery.
