The first part of the new Maritime Quarter to be built for residential purposes was this stretch of flats in the early 1980s. This picture, taken in 1989 could not be taken today as a 29 story tower has recently been built in the area occupied by the car park. The other difference being that when the picture was taken, only about a third of the inner marina was in use whereas today boats occupy the entire marina.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This heroic dog is a Swansea legend, a black retriever who in the 1930s saved the lives of, reputedly, no less than 27 individuals, mostly children, from drowning in the docks. He received several awards for animal gallantry. There was great public mourning when he died and a statue was raised elsewhere in the city. For the full story see http://www.aardvarkcymru.co.uk/swanseajack.htm The terms Swansea Jacks has also been applied to the town's sailors, local ironworkers and supporters of Swansea City Football Club (the Vetch field is close by) and even to Swansea-born people in general.
