EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to July 1865 with this print from Mary Evans Picture Library. The Great Eastern, a monumental ship of historical significance, is seen weighing anchor off Maplin Sands at the Nore in the Thames Estuary. As crew members diligently work the capstan to raise the anchor, a young boy adds a touch of whimsy to the scene by playing his fiddle.
This image captures a moment in maritime history when communication and transportation were undergoing significant advancements. The Great Eastern was not only an engineering marvel designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel but also played a crucial role in laying transatlantic telegraph cables.
