EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a daring and challenging feat achieved during the Royal Life Saving Society's Diploma tests in the 1930s. The human cork, as it came to be known, was one of the most difficult tasks for candidates to master. In this scene, a determined individual raises their arms above their head while maintaining a stable floating position in the sea. The ability to do so while reading a newspaper adds an extra layer of complexity to this impressive display of aquatic skill. The Royal Life Saving Society, an esteemed organization dedicated to the prevention of drowning and the promotion of water safety, put candidates through rigorous tests to ensure their proficiency in various water rescue techniques. The human cork maneuver was a test of buoyancy, balance, and control. It required candidates to remain afloat with their arms extended above their head for an extended period, demonstrating their ability to support themselves in the water without the aid of flotation devices. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to the seaside during a bygone era. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia and admiration for the courage and determination of those who dared to take on the human cork challenge. The scene is a testament to the importance of water safety and the lengths people went to in order to master essential lifesaving skills.
