EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the motor launch "The Pride of the Midlands" making its way towards Aberdovey, now known as Aberdyfi, in Wales. The boat, with its distinctive red hull and white trim, cuts through the calm waters, leaving a series of ripples in its wake. Above the image, three portraits gracefully frame the scene, each one showcasing the essential members of the crew: the Skipper, the Mate, and the Engineer. Their faces, filled with determination and pride, tell the story of a team that has worked together to ensure a safe and enjoyable excursion for their passengers. The Skipper, with his steady gaze and weathered features, embodies the experience and expertise required to navigate the waters of the Irish Sea. The Mate, with his watchful eye and confident demeanor, stands ready to lend a hand in any situation. And the Engineer, with his focused expression and intricate understanding of the boat's machinery, keeps the engine purring smoothly. The photograph, taken in an era when motor launches like "The Pride of the Midlands" were a popular means of pleasure travel, transports us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace. The boat's rings and the Welsh flag in the foreground add to the sense of history and tradition, while the crew's portraits serve as a reminder of the human element that lies at the heart of every maritime adventure.
